First overhead road in Vietnam opens for traffic
The opening ceremony on October 21.


In 2001, the government decided to build the belt road No. 3, from Mai Dich to Linh Dam, in two phases, including a 4-lane road in the first phase and an overhead road in the second phase.

After nine years, the 10km belt road was completed and put into use, facilitating the development of many urban and administrative centers in My Dinh, the city’s western areas. A year later, the construction of the overhead road was kicked off. The route has 4 lanes, with the total width of 24 m, enabling cars to run up to 100 km per hour. The total investment capital is VND 5,547 billion, from Japan's ODA loans.

The overhead road was built in nearly three years, linked to Phap Van road, creating a 15km overhead road.
