Lieu Giai and Van Cao streets have four more lanes.
After the expansion work which was started in July, the two streets will have eight lanes of the same size as the Nguyen Chi Thanh and Tran Duy Hung streets. These four streets go straight from the West Lake area in Ba Dinh District and the National Convention Centre in Nam Tu Liem District.
With eight lanes, traffic has become easier on Lieu Giai and Van Cao streets which used to see constant congestion.
Despite difficulties in construction activities posed by the social distancing rules for Covid-19 prevention, the project has been given priority due to its important role.
According to an official from the Ministry of Transport, Dang Hong Quan, the project has been completed by 50 percent after a month of construction.
The expansion work is expected to be completed by the end of September.
