As one of sevenbridges spanning the Red River in Hanoi, the 8.9km bridge with eightlanes will be a key traffic route for the capital as it will link NoiBai, a major port of entry, and downtown Hanoi.

The construction of a 12km long road connecting Nhat Tan and Noi Baiis keeping with schedule. Once completed, the new route will shorten thetime to travel from Hanoi to Noi Bai’s new Terminal 2 by half.

The bridge is expected to open for technical trial run in October.

Meanwhile, 86 percent of the building of Terminal T2, which isdesigned to serve 10 million passengers a year, has been completed. Theterminal will also be put on the test two months later.-VNA
