Hue’s Project Management Board for Transport Construction has submitted an adjustment to its feasibility study to the Huế Department of Construction for the Ring Road 3 project. The adjustment covers investment changes for Phases 2 and 3 and includes additional works at a key intersection on National Highway 1.
The total investment for Phases 2 and 3 has been adjusted from 750 billion VND to over 1,600 billion VND. The incremental funding is primarily intended to support construction of a rail overpass at the intersection of National Highway 1 and Nguyen Van Linh Street in Huong An ward.
The rail overpass is designed to be about 292 meters long and 17.5 meters wide, with four lanes and eight spans. It will be built along Ring Road 3, a roughly 6.5-kilometer route connecting National Highway 1 with National Highway 49A.
According to the project management board, the overpass will start on Nguyen Van Linh Street, cross the North–South rail line and National Highway 1, and connect with the northern segment of Ring Road 3. This northern segment is described as a high-traffic node near the northern bus station and a gateway to central Hue.
The project management board said that once Ring Road 3 is completed, traffic in the area is expected to rise sharply. It added that without the rail overpass investment, congestion and traffic safety risks would increase.
In the future, Ring Road 3 is expected to function as a traffic artery, sharing load with NH 1 through the city center. The overpass is expected to reduce congestion and improve traffic safety at the junction.
Ring Road 3 runs through Huong An, Kim Long, and Thuy Xuan wards, linking NH 1 with NH 49A. The route is planned with a 43-meter-wide cross-section and will include lighting, green spaces, and sidewalks.
In Phase 1, the Nguyễn Hoàng Bridge crossing the Huong River has been completed, with a total investment of more than 1,550 billion VND.
Construction is currently advancing on the widened Nguyễn Hoàng Street and the An Ninh Ha Bridge crossing the Bach Yen River.
