Hanoi (VNA) - The Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line is expected to begin commercial operation on its over-8-km elevated section running from Nhon to Cau Giay in late June or early July, after 14 years of construction.
As planned, 10 trains of this metro line have just been granted a certificate of quality, technical safety and environmental protection by the Vietnam Register under the Ministry of Transport.
This is an important milestone, ensuring that the trains fully meet quality, safety and environmental standards and are eligible to operate.
The Nhon - Hanoi Station metro project has a total length of 12.5km. The line passes through eight elevated and four underground stations.
Work on the line started in 2009 and was initially scheduled for completion in 2015. After four deadline extensions, it is expected to be finished in 2027.
This is one of the city's important transportation projects, with the goal of reducing traffic congestion, improving the public transportation system and contributing to environmental protection./.
