Renovation measure proposed to reduce congestion on Phap Van intersection
Directorate for Roads of Vietnam has proposed two solutions to ease traffic congestion on the Hanoi’s Phap Van intersection to the Transport Ministry.
The Phap Van intersection has high traffic flow as its connects the Phap Van - Cau Gie Highway with Ring Road 3 and the Nuoc Ngam coach station with the Giap Bat coach station.
Traffic congestion occurred at all traffic lanes that surround the intersection during peak hours and holidays, according to the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam.
The quality of the current transition lanes fall short of traffic demand, due to damaged road surface and obscured traffic signals, making it an urgent task to renovate the intersection and develop more transition lanes.
The renovation project for the intersection is now in its second phase, with the aims to construct 6 traffic lanes for motor vehicles, which are estimated to be inaugurated at the beginning of 201.
A new turning lane will be developed so that vehicles can turn right from the feeder road of the intersection’s interchange to a transition road from the Thanh Tri Bridge.
A switch back curve will be developed under the Phap Van viaduct to reduce the number of vehicles taking the left turn at the intersection between the Phap Van – Cau Gie Highway and Ring Road 3 to enter the city.
A new right-turn lane will be connected to the Phap Van – Cau Gie Highway to reduce traffic congestion at the highway’s entrance that crosses Ring Road 3.
In addition, the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam also proposed improvements to the connection point between Ring Road 3 and National Highway 1 to make it easier for vehicles to turn right to go into the city’s centre, as well as connecting the right-turn lane from the Tran Thu Do street with the entrance lane of the Phap Van – Cau Gie Highway.
The solutions are estimated to cost 423.1 billion VND (18.6 million USD), of which over 255 billion VND (11.3 million USD) will be spent on site clearance.
These solutions will be implemented under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) mechanism.
