Hanoi (VNA) - Hanoi plans to build ten more pedestrian bridges incrowded streets in the inner city in an attempt to reduce traffic congestionand ensure safety.

Seven steel structure frame pedestrian bridges will be built along the routesof Nguyen Trai in Thanh Xuan district, Lang in Dong Da district and Nguyen VanCu in Long Bien district. Traffic is held up with long tailbacks in thesestreets, especially during rush hours.

The remaining three pedestrian bridges will be built across To Lich River.

The city’s People’s Committee has approved projects to build four pedestrianbridges. Of that, one is at the T-junction of Trieu Khuc Road in Thanh Xuan districtand three in Nguyen Van Cu street in Long Bien district.

The four bridges will be assembled with a steel structure with surface drainagesystem. The construction is scheduled to finish next year.

In reply to the municipal Department of Planning and Investment’s requirementon evaluating the construction of three pedestrian bridges across To Lich Riverand three bridges along Lang street, the Department of Transport said theconstruction was necessary and urgent.

There is a high density of agencies, schools and vehicles in Lang street. Thedemand of moving across Lang Road to the sidewalk section of To Lich River aswell as the need for walking across the river has been increased.

Three bridges include To Lich 1 bridge, which locates between the Cot and 361bridges, To Lich 2 bridge locating between 361 and Trung Hoa bridges, and To Lich3 bridge locating between Trung Hoa and Hoa Muc bridges. Each bridge has anestimated length of 40 metres.

The pedestrian bridges along Lang road includes Bridge No1 locating near 1174 Langroad with a length of 43m, Bridge No2 near 778 Lang road with a length 33m, andBridge No3 near Lang Ha market with a length of 41m.

According to the department Lang road connects three big districts includingThanh Xuan, Dong Da and Cau Giay, and plays an important route in connecting NoiBai International Airport.

It has a high density of vehicles, posing risks for pedestrians as the busstops are far from existing bridges.

The construction of the bridges is urgent to ensure safety and convenience forpedestrians./.
