00:00:03.187 --> 00:00:06.678 
The 2.5 beltway project, the pink lagoon
section, National Highway 1A is being 

00:00:06.678 --> 00:00:09.364 
given a construction permit, promising
to reduce congestion in the 

00:00:09.364 --> 00:00:10.707 
southern area of the city. 

00:00:11.127 --> 00:00:14.227 
However, when the project is not
completed, the lives and livelihoods of 

00:00:14.227 --> 00:00:17.327 
many households on both sides of the
road are facing many difficulties. 

00:00:17.607 --> 00:00:22.532 
For the past 7 months, Ms. Thieng has
rented premises on the Ring Road 2.5 for 

00:00:22.532 --> 00:00:26.227 
12 million VND per month, not including
electricity, water and service costs. 

00:00:26.687 --> 00:00:29.787 
However, business is extremely
gloomy, with few customers. 

00:00:29.787 --> 00:00:33.890 
At noon, her restaurant only had a few
people coming to eat. She was concerned 

00:00:33.890 --> 00:00:37.447 
that if the situation persisted, the
site would probably have to be returned. 

00:00:37.932 --> 00:00:41.772 
This dusty street is also deserted, it's
like lying on a dusty street with too 

00:00:41.772 --> 00:00:44.332 
many customers, so it's still
difficult, complaining to the homeowner. 

00:00:44.592 --> 00:00:48.252 
This whole row of houses is full of fake
houses, some people here have returned their houses. 

00:00:48.352 --> 00:00:52.266 
Feeling that I could not survive and
could not do it, I also told him to fake 

00:00:52.266 --> 00:00:56.870 
a house, but now he told me to go to
work, I have to go to work for hire, go 

00:00:56.870 --> 00:00:59.172 
to work for hire, and why do it like this. 

00:00:59.372 --> 00:01:02.892 
They keep saying it is dusty, they don't
want to come here to eat. 

00:01:03.481 --> 00:01:08.921 
On this route, many businesses are in
a similar situation. 

00:01:09.281 --> 00:01:12.421 
Many shops have had to temporarily stop
operating, and their doors are closed. 

00:01:12.681 --> 00:01:16.221 
Mr. Hieu's shop is one of the few that
is still trying to stick with it. 

00:01:16.289 --> 00:01:19.588 
Every day, they have to clean it all the
time, but in the afternoon, the dust 

00:01:19.588 --> 00:01:22.269 
returns and the next day, they have
to clean it all the time. 

00:01:22.989 --> 00:01:26.705 
After cleaning several times a day, many
times when customers are afraid of dusty 

00:01:26.705 --> 00:01:28.829 
soil, they do not want to go in. 

00:01:29.729 --> 00:01:33.149 
Sometimes I have to spread tarpaulins
to make customers comfortable. 

00:01:33.149 --> 00:01:37.962 
The number of customers has decreased
significantly, not only the bicycle shop 

00:01:37.962 --> 00:01:40.369 
like his but also the restaurant, 

00:01:40.529 --> 00:01:45.789 
all activities have been reduced. 

00:01:45.803 --> 00:01:49.303 
They are a slow, prolonged road. 

00:01:49.443 --> 00:01:51.583 
From now until Tet, it is not known whether they can make stone fields, 

00:01:51.683 --> 00:01:54.103 
very clean for everyone
to travel, less dusty. 

00:01:54.323 --> 00:01:56.583 
In daily life, people can market hammers, 

00:01:56.723 --> 00:01:58.323 
It is very difficult to do business. 

00:01:59.103 --> 00:02:01.983 
Wanting to sell to
stagnant people, families renting, 

00:02:02.103 --> 00:02:04.603 
for those who rent the store, it is also very miserable. 

00:02:05.083 --> 00:02:07.263 
No business can be done, now the rent is gone. 

00:02:07.623 --> 00:02:13.023 
Our people also want the state and
companies to do it quickly, 

00:02:13.023 --> 00:02:15.623 
to make the road convenient for people to travel, 

00:02:15.763 --> 00:02:18.163 
to prevent turning off this road, to prevent dusty land. 

00:02:19.103 --> 00:02:23.923 
When it is turned off every day, it is
very difficult for the province to travel. 

00:02:24.937 --> 00:02:28.919 
The 2.5 beltway project, the pink lagoon
section of national highway 1A, is about 

00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.617 
1.3 km long, with a total investment of
more than 1,300 billion VND, 

00:02:32.977 --> 00:02:37.397 
implemented in the form of BT contracts,
construction, transfer, and exchange with workers. 

00:02:37.697 --> 00:02:42.037 
Mr. Le Thanh Tung, Deputy Director of
Hoang Mai Hanoi Construction Investment responsibility company, 

00:02:42.417 --> 00:02:45.279 
The project implementation enterprise
said that to date, the construction 

00:02:45.279 --> 00:02:46.997 
volume has reached more than 70%. 

00:02:47.237 --> 00:02:50.077 
The investor is mobilizing maximum
machinery and human resources to compete 

00:02:50.077 --> 00:02:53.177 
for the project to be completed in
the first quarter of 2026. 

00:02:53.177 --> 00:02:57.230 
Faced with the construction situation
affecting people's lives, the project 

00:02:57.230 --> 00:02:59.257 
investor has requested construction units 

00:02:59.257 --> 00:03:02.571 
strictly follow safety measures,
regularly go to the water, wash the 

00:03:02.571 --> 00:03:03.777 
road, to limit dust, 

00:03:04.057 --> 00:03:06.937 
at the same time, there are barriers
and warning signs at dangerous locations. 

00:03:07.497 --> 00:03:10.777 
When completed, the route will be
synchronized with the copper gold underpass, clearing, 

00:03:10.777 --> 00:03:13.697 
contributing to reducing congestion and
completing the 2.5 belt line 

00:03:13.697 --> 00:03:15.157 
according to the city's plan.
