Mai Dich Steel Overpass completes final items to reach the finish line this week

TPO - After nearly 1 year of construction, two steel overpasses at Mai Dich intersection are urgently completing the final items. According to the traffic organization plan between Thang Long Project Management Board ( Ministry of Transport - investor) and Hanoi Department of Transport, the bridge will be completed before March 31 and put into use from April 2024.

To facilitate the construction of the final items including asphalt concrete pavement, median strip installation..., over the past week, the entire Mai Dich overpass has banned and restricted certain types of vehicles from going up.

By the end of last week, the steel overpass lane from Mai Dich to Thanh Xuan had completed the asphalt concrete pavement.

Two steel overpass plaintiffs on both sides of the existing Mai Dich overpass have been formed.

Last weekend, construction workers took advantage of reduced traffic to pave the bridge surface and two ramps.

However, due to the large traffic volume, especially trucks and buses on the elevated road, at times the erection of barriers to block the ramps has caused congestion on Pham Hung Street and the elevated Ring Road 3.

After the bridge surface and ramps from Pham Hung to Pham Van Dong were paved, according to the planned traffic diversion plan, the construction unit installed barriers to limit the height of vehicles crossing the steel overpass; pedestrians, cyclists, and non-motorized vehicles are prohibited from going onto the bridge.

The sidewalk and traffic island under the steel overpass are also being renovated. The clearance for vehicles passing under the steel overpass is controlled at a height of less than 3.5 meters.

After the steel overpass is opened to traffic and put into use, the Mai Dich overpass will be expanded from 4 lanes to 6 lanes, expected to reduce the long-standing traffic congestion at Ring Road 3 and Mai Dich intersection.

The two plaintiffs of Mai Dich steel overpass started construction in May 2023.

In addition to the task of separating cars and motorbikes to reduce conflicts and traffic congestion, the steel overpass also helps exploit the elevated Ring Road 3 section through Mai Dich intersection according to expressway standards.

The project has an investment of over 344 billion VND, the Thang Long Project Management Board, Ministry of Transport is the investor, construction progress is 5/2023 - 3/2024.
