The Nhon-Hanoi Railway Station line extends 12.5 kilometers from Nhon in Tay Tuu ward, Hanoi's western district of Nam Tu Liem, along Kim Ma street to Hanoi Railway Station in the downtown area. It runs 8.5 kilometers on elevated tracks through eight stations and four kilometers underground through four stations. In August 2019, the Hanoi People’s Committee approved adjustments to the implementation duration and the capital structure of this project. Accordingly, the project will be carried out until 2022. The whole metro line will become operational in December that year. Of the total investment capital of EUR1.17 billion, Hanoi decided to reduce the funding sourced from the official development assistance of the French Development Agency (AFD) to EUR158.7 million from EUR178.7 million, and raise the borrowings from the French government from EUR335.4 million to EUR355.1 million. |
