In addition, several other new terminals will be constructed in the city’s satellite urban areas, including the Phu Xuyen Terminal in Phu Xuyen district on 5ha, the Xuan Mai Terminal in Xuan Mai district on 5ha, the Nam Hoa Lac and Bac Hoa Lac terminals in Hoa Lac district on 5ha each, the Son Tay 2 Terminal in Son Tay district on 5ha, the Nam Soc Son and Bac Soc Son terminals in Soc Son district on 5ha each.
According to the plan, the city will also upgrade several terminals, including My Dinh, Nuoc Ngam, Giap Bat, Gia Lam and Thuong Tin.
In the coming time, Hanoi city will gradually move the lorry terminals beyond Ring Road No. 3, which runs through Soc Son, Bac Tu Liem, Nam Tu Liem, Cau Giay, Thanh Xuan, Hoang Mai, Long Bien, Gia Lam and Dong Anh districts.
The old terminals will then be used for public transport services.
Under the plan, Hanoi’s five satellite cities will accommodate one lorry terminal each.
The population of expanded Hanoi is forecast to grow to 7.44 million by 2020 and around 9.5 million by 2030.
The Master Transport Plan aims to accelerate the development of Hanoi towards a more public transport-oriented city, and more short term and small-scale measures encouraging soft mobility will be also included to alleviate the city’s immediate issues of traffic congestion and atmospheric pollution.
