 The design of Ring Road No.4

The project aims to build a system of streets and service roads spanning approximately 58.2km in Hanoi.

Ring Road No.4 runs through Hanoi in Tan Dan commune, Soc Son district, to the boundary between Hanoi and Hung Yen Province in Thuong Tin district.

The local streets are designed to meet the standards of the urban main thoroughfare with a design speed of 80km/h. However, the section running parallel to Song Phuong Dam is designed to meet the standards for secondary main roads with a design speed of 60km/h.

Intersections that require the construction of interchanges will be built in conjunction with Component 3 of the Ring Road No.4 project.

Intersections with provincial roads, national roads and other busy urban axes requiring complex traffic organization will be controlled traffic lights and painted lines with guide signs to ensure safety during operation.

The total investment for the project is VND5.38 trillion ($226 million), with VND4.52 trillion ($190 million) allocated from the city budget for construction costs.

The route covers 58.2 km through Hanoi, 19.3 km in Hung Yen, and 25.6 km in Bac Ninh while the connecting route is 9.71 km long.

The project is designed as a 4-lane expressway with a width of 17m and a design speed of 80 km/h.Service roads will be constructed on both sides of the road through urban and residential areas.
