TPO - After nearly 2 years of construction, the Ring Road 2.5 underpass through the Giai Phong - Kim Dong intersection has completed the open tunnel section on the Dinh Cong side. Currently, contractors are fencing off a large area of ​​the road to construct the main tunnel and the open tunnel on the Giap Bat side.

After 21 months of construction (2/3 of the project's time), by the afternoon of July 16, the Ring Road 2.5 underpass through the Giai Phong - Kim Dong intersection had clearly revealed the construction site and the accompanying construction site.

For the open tunnel section on Dinh Cong side, the retaining wall and ramp have been basically completed and the shape has appeared.

The construction site is currently focusing on the open tunnel section, ramping up and down towards Kim Dong street (Giap Bat ward).

Along with that, the construction unit also fenced off most of the area of ​​Giai Phong - Kim Dong intersection to dig and construct a closed tunnel (main tunnel) through the intersection.

The fence that has narrowed the Giai Phong - Kim Dong intersection by more than half has caused traffic difficulties, especially during rush hour. Photo taken on the afternoon of July 16.

Kim Dong Street was also completely narrowed by fences, vehicles had to travel on the widened sidewalk, and during rush hour on the afternoon of July 16, traffic was congested for a long time.

The objective of the Ring Road 2.5 tunnel project is to reorganize traffic in the direction that vehicles traveling on Ring Road 2.5 when reaching the Giai Phong - Kim Dong intersection will go underground (underpass) to Kim Dong street and vice versa, this helps reduce congestion at the intersection and Giai Phong street. Along with that, the project also keeps the national railway lines (arrows) passing through Ring Road 2.5 still running at the intersection level.

The Hanoi Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board (investor) said the project started in October 2022 and is scheduled to be completed in 2025 with an investment of more than 770 billion VND. Due to site clearance problems, mainly the section through Giap Bat station, the progress of some project items is behind schedule. However, the site clearance has been basically resolved and the investor is urging contractors to complete the project on schedule.
