Hanoi Times - The Railway Corporation of Vietnam (VRWC) has submitted a proposal to build a direct railway from Hanoi station to Terminal1 & Terminal 2 (T1 & T2) of Noi Bai International Airport to the Ministry of Transport.
According to VRWC, air freight has been growing annually at about 10% and by 2010 T1 & T2 of Noibai International Airport will receive some 3 million international visitors as well as 3.3 million local travelers every year to become a regional aviation gateway. The number of arrivals and departures is expected to double the current numbers by 2020.
A wide range of industrial zones and supermarket chains in Dong Anh district will precipitate a rise in the number of travelers traversing back and forth for shopping and work. Currently, the o*nly way to get from the city center to the airport is the Thang Long – Noibai Highway. The project will help ease the flow of goods and travelers between the destinations and its construction is in accordance with the Comprehensive Railway and Transportation Plan to 2020 approved by the Prime Minister.
The planned route: Hanoi – Van Dien – Ha Dong – Phu Dien – Thang Long Bridge – Kim No – Bac Hong – Noibai, is expected to reduce traffic pressure for the surrounding areas and create a healthy transportation system for Hanoi in the future.
The project’s contractor – the Railway Corporation of Vietnam – expects to receive capital for the project from the Government‘s annual budget. The project document is expected to be completed and submitted to the government in the 4th quarter of 2008.
