Hanoi's metro line to connect city with airport

Hanoi has announced a plan for the construction of Urban Railway Line 2, which will run from Tran Hung Dao street in the centre of the city to the outlying district of Soc Son.

The section from Nam Thang Long to Noi Bai International Airport on the line is projected to be completed by 2030, and the entire line by 2034.

The entire line will be 11.5km long, with 2.6 km elevated and 8.9 km underground, passing through key areas such as Nguyen Van Huyen, Hoang Quoc Viet, Phan Dinh Phung, and ending at Pho Hue - Nguyen Du streets, with a total of 10 stations.

Currently, Noi Bai Airport serves nearly 30 million passengers annually, but the transportation options connecting it to the city center are limited, leading to congestion risks during rush hours./.
