Urgent, 10 years have not yet “given in”
According to the plan, Ho Chi Minh City will have 3 ring roads with a total length of about 356 km. In which, Ring Road 2 is responsible for distributing the flow of traffic in the inner city area; Ring Road 3 and Ring 4 are regional links connecting industrial parks and urban areas in the Southern Key Economic Region. However, so far, the city has only put into operation about 71 km of ring road (ring road 2 is about 55 km, ring road 3 is more than 16 km), ring road 4 is still in the project preparation process, not yet to be invested in construction. In particular, Ring Road 2 is only 14km long, but not closed yet, but the projects have been in trouble for many years and cannot be completed.
According to the latest report from the Department of Transportation, the 14 km unfinished are divided into 4 sections corresponding to 4 projects, including: the section from Phu Huu Bridge (District 9) to the Hanoi Highway, the section from the Hanoi Highway to Pham Van Dong Street (Thu Duc district), section 3 from the Pham Van Dong – Go Dua intersection, NH1 (Thu Duc district) and section 4 from NH1A – Nguyen Van Linh. In which the first and second tranches are waiting for almost 4 years, the investment policy has not been approved to serve as the basis for its implementation.

Hanoi is also “in no rush”
Always compared to Ho Chi Minh City in the speed of implementation of transportation infrastructure projects, especially the fairly comprehensive ring road system when planning to roll out Ring Road No. 5 with a length of 320 km, but the Hanoi’s capital can not escape the suffering of the ring road.
According to the Prime Minister’s Decision 1278 / QD-TTg in 2011 approving the detailed planning of Ring Road 4, the entire route is 98 km long, the scale of a 6-lane highway, the investment cost is of approximately 66,500 billion VND. , built before 2020, in which the section passing through Hanoi will be completed before 2018. After 4 years, the Prime Minister continues to approve the detailed planning of Ring Road 5 with a length of about 348 km, the section from high Cau Gie Highway – Ninh Binh to Hanoi – Lang Son, highway scale from 4 to 6 lanes, the remaining section is the scale of grade 2, 4 with 6 lanes, in a period until 2030, complete the highway to reach the scale 4 lanes, investment cost around 59 billion. The source of capital is determined from the state budget capital, ODA capital, exploitation of the land fund of the localities through which the route passes. In addition, the ring routes are separated into independent projects following each locality, the Popular Committees of the provinces and cities formulate projects, mobilize capital in the form of PPPs.
However, with Ring Road 4, so far only Hanoi has made investment proposals in component projects in the form of BT, but has not approved investment proposals (53.52 km in length). The remaining routes through Hung Yen (19 km) and Bac Ninh (21 km) have not yet made investment proposals for the project.
Representatives from Project Management Unit 2 (PMU 2), the unit assigned by the Ministry of Transportation to prepare a pre-feasibility study report for the Belt 4 project, said it is reviewing and updating all of the highway planning for Beltway 4 approved for early submission to the Ministry of Transport to report to the Government in 2021. Including some adjustments in the planning of the route through the industrial zones of Bac Ninh and Hung Yen provinces.
With belt 5, the requirement is completed in 2030, but only 62/331 km have been exploited (equivalent to 18.7% of the planned length), the progress of the investment is very slow compared to the plan. Part of the investment of the Ministry of Transport is the sections that coincide with national highways and highways (127.9 km long), 25 km of highways have been invested and put into operation.

Slow and clogged
The Ministry of Transport assessed that the delay of Belts 4 and 5 in Hanoi causes many urban roads to function as urban highways and external roads for vehicles from the surrounding provinces, leading to traffic congestion in Belt 3. According to a survey Performed by the Hanoi Transportation Infrastructure Maintenance Department, the average traffic volume on Ring Road 3 is currently about 5,000 vehicles / hour, about 2.5 times more. standard flow. This is also a route that often gets congested during rush hours or suddenly increases vehicles during the holidays and the New Years. Another route that also carries very large and often congested vehicles is Thanh Tri Bridge, which has exceeded the design flow by 8 times, around 120,000 vehicles / day and night, while the design flow is only 15,000 vehicles. / day and night.
