The People’s Committee of Hanoi has assigned relevant departments, sectors and the Hanoi Metropolitan Railway Management Board (MRB) to start a project studying the building of the urban railway route No.6, the section from Noi Bai to Ngoc Hoi in Thanh Tri district.

So far, only the first Cat Linh-Ha Dong line has been completed and in operation.

The Hanoi Metropolitan Railway Management Board, as the project’s coordinator, will be responsible for working with World Bank experts on the contents of the project, which is expected to propose forms of investment for the urban railway route.

The model of transit-oriented development (TOD) will be considered with the aim of recovering part of investment in urban railway, enhancing investment efficiency and easing pressure on the state budget.

According to the plan, the urban railway route No.6 will have a total length of about 43km with the starting point at Noi Bai airport and the ending point at Ngoc Hoi.

The route includes 29 stations and 2 depots at Ngoc Hoi and Kim No. It will run through 8 districts, including Thanh Tri, Bac Tu Liem, Nam Tu Liem, Hoai Duc, Ha Dong, Dong Anh, Soc Son and Me Linh.

Under the Hanoi urban railway network plan until 2030, the capital would have 10 lines with a total length of 417 km; of which 342 km would be elevated and the rest underground.

So far, only the first Cat Linh-Ha Dong line has been completed and in operation. The other lines are still in different phases of development. The Nhon-Hanoi Station line is set to have its elevated section operating at the end of 2022, and the entire line operating in 2027.
