On August 14, the People’s Committee of Da Nang City announced the specialized urban transportation planning project for Da Nang City to 2030, with a vision to 2045.
Accordingly, the city is oriented toward developing underground transportation, with several key routes drawing public attention.
Specifically, the airport tunnel will serve as a transport route connecting the eastern and western sides of the airport, helping to reduce traffic pressure on Dien Bien Phu and Cach Mang Thang Tam streets. The road begins going underground after the Truong Chinh – Dinh Thi Van intersection, passing under the airport toward Duy Tan. After crossing the intersection with Nguyen Huu Tho street, the route resurfaces.
The road tunnel is about 2.1 km long and is planned to include both a road tunnel and a tunnel for public transport (MRT Line 1).
The Han River tunnel will connect Dong Da street with Van Don street, with a length of about 0.83 km. It is also expected to include both a road tunnel and a public transport tunnel (MRT Line 2).
The new railway station tunnel will be located along the road connecting the new railway station and Road No. 2 of Hoa Khanh Industrial Zone. The route will go underground beneath the new railway station, the high-speed railway, the regular railway, and the expressway. The tunnel will be about 0.8 km long, designed to accommodate both ground-level traffic and public transport (LRT Line 3).
According to the planning project, public transport routes will also be developed underground. MRT Line 1 will begin going underground before the Vanh dai 2 (Western Ring Road 2) – Dinh Liet intersection, pass under the airport, continue along the eastern airport boundary – 29 March Park – and reach the central transfer station at the existing railway station. The underground MRT section will be about 6.1 km long.
MRT Line 2 will begin going underground before the Ngo Quyen – Tran Thanh Tong intersection, pass under the Han River and Dong Da street, and connect to the central transfer station at the existing railway station. The underground section will be about 4.3 km long.
LRT Line 6 will run underground in the section before the September 2 Monument, with an underground length of about 1.3 km.
According to the Da Nang People’s Committee, multiple underground transport routes in the city center are planned to save land, creating a complete and multifunctional underground space that enhances land-use efficiency.
Earlier, the Da Nang People’s Committee also announced the groundbreaking of a series of key projects to celebrate National Day (September 2).
The six projects include: the expansion of Chu Lai Truong Hai Automobile Mechanical Industrial Park; a resettlement area for the North–South high-speed railway project in Dien Ban Bac Ward; a cultural, entertainment, and high-end commercial park (Da Nang Downtown); the Ba Na – Suoi Mo eco-tourism and urban complex project; an apartment project on lots C1 and C2 in the Phu My An urban area; and a social housing project on lots B4-1 and B4-2 in Hoa Hiep 4 resettlement area.
The groundbreaking of these six key projects is also an opportunity to promote Da Nang as a dynamic city full of potential, an attractive destination for both domestic and international investors, and a modern, civilized, environmentally friendly urban area that better serves the needs of its residents.
