The ceremony was attended by Politburo member and Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Hoang Trung Hai and Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung, along with many leaders of the city.
As an important infrastructure project, the project is scheduled to connect three main roads: National Highway 32, West Lake - Ba Vi, Thang Long Highway and in order to reduce traffic congestion at Ring Road 3.
The 5.6-kilometre project has a total investment of approximately VND1 trillion. It is being constructed to withstand an 80 kilometre per hour speed limit. The first phase of the project has completed site clearance, ready for construction, expected to put into use by early 2019.
Addressing the ceremony, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee, Nguyen The Hung, urged departments and contractors to mobilise all human, financial and material resources to ensure the quality and progress of the project as well as labour safety and to address any environmental issues.
