According to the department's plan, the four-kilometre-long and four-metre-wide pedestrian route along the To Lich River in Dong Da District will be converted into a combined pedestrian and cycle lane.
The dedicated bike route will consist of two lanes, spanning three metres in width, running adjacent to the river. The one-metre pedestrian route is expected to be connected to Lang Station on the Cat Linh - Ha Dong metro line and Station 8 of the Nhon - Hanoi Station metro line via Lang Street.
The transport authority would also set up six more public bike rental stations at bus stops along this route.
The second cycle lane would be located along the roads encircling Hoa Binh Park and Hoang Minh Thao Street in Bac Tu Liem District.
To create a separate 5.70-kilometre bicycle lane around Hoa Binh Park, the department said it would need to repair sidewalks and create a three-metre-wide priority lane for two-way bicycle traffic.
