Residents in Thanh Xuan district will be able to use a unique Y-shaped pedestrian bridge that is now under construction and scheduled to put into use in the near future. The work, which is the first Y-shaped pedestrian bridge in the capital city, is located at the T-junction of Hoang Minh Giam and Nguyen Thi Thap streets and considered a symbol of Thanh Xuan district. It is hoped to ease the traffic volume in the area, a traffic jam hotspot in the city. Under the city’s plan on ensuring traffic order and safety for 2021, it will strive to tackle 10 or so traffic jam hotspots and address accident black spots. (Photo: VietnamPlus)

The main parts of the bridge have been completed, and finishing touches are being put to this structure. Hoang Minh Giam is a busy street in the rush hour and traffic congestion is frequently seen. The new pedestrian bridge is expected to help guarantee safety for local residents and, especially, students of nearby schools such as the Amsterdam High School for the Gifted. In Hanoi’s plan on traffic order and safety for 2021, public transport was tasked with ensuring quality services, with buses to meet 17-18 percent of travel demand. Street patrols, COVID-19 prevention and control measures, scientific and technological application in transport management, and communications campaigns raising public awareness about safe transport will also be intensified.

Invested by the management board for construction investment projects of Thanh Xuan district, the bridge at the Hoang Minh Giam - Nguyen Thi Thap T-junction is also adjacent to Thanh Xuan Park. It is set to be installed with a decorative lighting system and thus becoming the most beautiful pedestrian bridge in Hanoi. Construction is expected to finish in late June. In 2019, 33 traffic jam hotspots were identified in the city. The municipal traffic safety committee has introduced a number of solutions to ease or eliminate traffic jams. But with high density of vehicles and regular violations of traffic rules, congestion is still an urgent matter in need of drastic measures. (Photo: VietnamPlus)

Hoang Minh Giam is designated as a main road in Thanh Xuan district while Nguyen Thi Thap is an internal street. This is an intersection with a high traffic volume as it is situated near a park, several schools, and many state agencies and office buildings. Given this, the opening of the Y-shaped bridge will not only add a highlight to the local landscape but also ensure safety for pedestrians. Despite numerous attempts by the Hanoi authorities to ease traffic congestion in the capital, roads still remain crowded. The Department of Transport said hotspots of traffic congestion are caused mainly by the rapid increase of high-rise buildings and apartments blocks in Hanoi’s downtown area, along with poor infrastructure.

The bridge is expected to help guarantee safety for pedestrians from neighbouring apartment blocks and, especially, students of nearby schools. The Hanoi Department of Transport is carrying out several solutions to ease jams, some of which have been successful. These include regular review of traffic congestion hotspots and potential hotspots to adjust traffic flow management accordingly and developing high quality public transportation. Another measure is to enhance the application of information technology in management so as to ensure traffic safety and order. The department has applied the GovOne software in managing and maintaining transport infrastructure, deployed the iParking app at public parking areas in the city, and expanded lane width by narrowing median strips.

With construction started in May 2020, basic parts of the pedestrian bridge have been completed. The remainders such as the roof, the lighting system, and ornamental plants are being added so that the bridge can be put into use as scheduled. Featuring three main piers, this Y-shaped bridge is said to be the most beautiful pedestrian bridge in Hanoi once it becomes operational. It connects the sidewalk of Hoang Minh Giam street along Thanh Xuan Park with two separate street corners on either side of Nguyen Thi Thap street in Thanh Xuan district.

The investor said the bridge features a steel box girder upper structure supported by three main steel-and-concrete pillars piers. It has a lifespan of up to 100 years. The footbridge is 4 metres wide and 49 metres long in total, making it more convenient for pedestrians to cross the road, especially in the rush hour. Standing on the bridge, one will have a good view of the beauty of the lake in Thanh Xuan Park. Over the past years, Hanoi has been taking different solutions to ensure traffic order and safety. Apart from building new transport facilities and upgrading existing infrastructure, it has been developing the public transport network. (Photo: VietnamPlus)

The bridge’s section over Hoang Minh Giam street has vertical and horizontal clearances of 4.75 x 15 metres, while the respective clearances of the section over Nguyen Thi Thap street are 4.75 x 7.5 metres. To develop the public transport network, Hanoi plans to add dozens of new bus routes in the next four years to encourage more people to use public transport. The new routes will service the outskirts of the city as well as areas that are usually crowded, like residential areas, shopping malls and entertainment complexes. It is expected that between 90 and 100 new bus routes will be introduced in the 2020 - 2025 period. (Photo: VietnamPlus)

The Y-shaped pedestrian bridge, the first of its kind in the capital city, is located at the T-junction of Hoang Minh Giam and Nguyen Thi Thap streets and considered a symbol of Thanh Xuan district once it is inaugurated. Hanoi is working to increase bus routes so as to raise the percentage of passengers using the public bus system to 16 - 18 percent by 2025 and 25 percent by 2030. Currently, the bus system only meets 15 percent of the travel demand of local residents. Inadequate traffic infrastructure, poor punctuality and limited accessibility have undermined buses’ attractiveness to passengers. The Hanoi Transportation Service Corporation (Transerco) will open new routes to help people travel more easily and conveniently. (Photo: VietnamPlus)

The roof of the three-way footbridge is being completed. To help improve local traffic, the capital city will also pilot the rental of electric bicycles to facilitate connections among local bus routes and the bus rapid transit (BRT) system from the third quarter of this year. The pilot project will be launched by the municipal Department of Transport and the University of Transport Technology, on the route from the AEON Mall Ha Dong to the Van Khe BRT platform, until the end of 2023, followed by a review to expand the model to the entire city. With funding from the European Commission and Government agencies, the service will be offered free of charge in the trial period. (Photo: VietnamPlus)

The steel footbridge will help ensure safety for pedestrians when crossing the streets, which are among the busiest in the area. Report from the Transport Development and Strategy Institute under the Ministry of Transport showed that the capital city is currently home to about 5.5 million motorbikes and 500,000 cars. Hanoi is developing a public transport system that looks to serve the need of 30 to 35 percent of citizens in the inner city and of 15 percent of citizens in satellite cities. Meanwhile, the electric bike sharing system to be piloted in Hoan Kiem district is expected to make it easier for people to approach public vehicles to reach the places they want to go to.
