Construction of Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street that runs 600 meters or 2,000 feet along the Bay Mau Lake in Hanoi’s Hai Ba Trung District was approved in 2000. The construction plan was adjusted at least three times until work actually started in October 2016. |

The road is planned to span 17 meters with broad sidewalks and two vehicle lanes. It is one of the key insfrastructure projects aimed to ease heavy congestion in the city center. |
