ThePhap Van intersection has high traffic flow as its connects the Phap Van – Cau GieHighway with Ring Road 3 and the Nuoc Ngam coach station with the Giap Bat coachstation.
Trafficcongestion occurred over all traffic lanes that surround the intersectionduring peak hours and holidays, said Nguyen Van Huyen, Director of thedirectorate.
Thequality of the current transition lanes fall short of traffic demand, due todamaged road surface and obscured traffic signals, making it an urgent task torenovate the intersection and develop more transition lanes, he said.
Therenovation project for the intersection is currently in its second phase,aiming to construct 6 traffic lanes for motor vehicles, which are estimated tobe inaugurated at the beginning of 2018.
Anew turning lane will be developed so that vehicles can turn right from thefeeder road of the intersection’s interchange to a transition road from theThanh Tri Bridge.
Aswitch back curve will be developed under the Phap Van viaduct to reduce thenumber of vehicles taking the left turn at the intersection between the PhapVan – Cau Gie Highway and Ring Road 3 to enter the city.
Anew right-turn lane will be connected to the Phap Van – Cau Gie Highway to easetraffic congestion at the highway’s entrance that crosses Ring Road 3.
Theadministration also proposed improvements to the connection point between RingRoad 3 and National Highway 1 to make it easier for vehicles to turn right togo into the city’s centre, as well as connecting the right-turn lane from the TranThu Do street with the entrance lane of the Phap Van – Cau Gie Highway.
Thesolutions are estimated to cost 423 billion VND (18.6 million USD), of whichsome 256 billion VND (11.3 million USD) will be spent on site clearance.
Theywill be carried out under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) mechanism.-VNA
