Hanoi’s transport infrastructure is alarming since a number of recently-launched works have become overloaded, Secretary of the municipal Party Committee Hoang Trung Hai said.
Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung has called on Singaporean groups to send experts to study and provide consultation to address traffic issue in the capital city.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has asked centrally-run agencies to create all favourable conditions for the capital city of Hanoi to develop its transport infrastructure to ease traffic congestions.
Around 84 percent of residents of the capital city approve of the proposal to limit the use of personal vehicles so as to ease traffic jams, according to a recent survey.
At least 15 million of the country’s 52-million workforce is suffering the consequences of severe noise levels, the Institute of Occupational Health and Environment, said on July 20.
