The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport has told contractors to complete procedures and speed up work on four underground parking projects.

With the number of cars and bikes on the rise, Hanoi should accelerate planning for underground parking, experts have said.

Hanoi will have a gigantic underground parking lot in the near future, revealed Nguyen Duc Chung, Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee at a recent sit down with constituents in Hoan Kiem district.

The Hanoi People’s Committee has proposed regulations related to underground parking space in high-rises to the municipal People’s Council, which will be approved in a meeting in July.

Hanoi’s People’s Committee has proposed that the Government choose a Japanese company as a consultant contractor to implement the planning of underground parking stations in the city.

HCM City's Department of Transport has been urged to replace unqualified investors of underground parking lot projects that have been delayed for more than 10 years.

HCM City has recently called for private investment under the public-private partnership (PPP) model to kick off several key transport infrastructure projects under in the context of a limited State budget amid increasing transport demand.

HCM City plans to limit vehicles on several downtown streets on weekend evenings in the future, according to the Department of Transport.
