The railway infrastructure of Ha Noi and Giap Bat train stations will be relocated to make room for the Yen Vien-Ngoc Hoi urban railway line, according to the Transport Ministry.
The Ha Noi People's Committee will be the main investor of the Yen Vien-Ngoc Hoi line, and will be responsible for the depot area of the line.
The transport ministry has instructed the Railway Project Management Board to hand over documents on the Yen Vien-Ngoc Hoi project to Hanoi authorities in order to speed up the project.
As the Ha Noi and Giap Bat stations will change from being national railway terminals to metro stations, the ministry will cooperate with relevant authorities to relocate the national railway infrastructure at the two stations to make room for the Yen Vien-Ngoc Hoi project.
The Yen Vien-Ngoc Hoi project, spanning 28.7 km, would have two new railway bridges over the Red River and the Duong River to replace the Long Bien Bridge and the Duong Bridge.
The North-South Railway would begin from the Ngoc Hoi Station instead of the Ha Noi Train Station.
The project has total investment of over US$ 81.5 trillion (US$ 3.48 billion)./.
