The ground breaking ceremony of a project on strengthening sustainable urban transport for Ha Noi Metro Line 3 (or Nhon-Ha Noi Railway Station metro line) project takes place in Ha Noi, October 7, 2022
The project, jointly funded by Ha Noi People's Committee and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), aims to ensure smooth transport to approach the metro line, making sure that people use the metro line in a safe and convenient manner.
It will also support Ha Noi's climate change mitigation efforts in adopting a low-carbon transport growth path, which is more energy efficient and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.
Besides, the project will provide infrastructure for improving accessibility to Metro Line 3 stations, implement feeder bus links, a public transport management system, integrated multi-modal stations with "park and ride" facilities, as well as a comprehensive parking plan for the city.
It has the total investment capital worth US$54.75 million, including US$48.95 million from the ADB's Clean Technology Fund (CTF).
The project has three components spanning the six districts of Nam Tu Liem, Bac Tu Liem, Cau Giay, Ba Dinh, Dong Da and Hoan Kiem.
The Nhon-Ha Noi Railway Station metro line, the second route after Cat Linh-Ha Dong in the capital city, is slated to run 12.5 kilometers from Nhon in Nam Tu Liem District to the Ha Noi Railway Station in the downtown area.
It will include 8.5 kilometers on elevated tracks and four kilometers underground.
The project will be fully completed by 2027./.
