. Hanoi Station is the central passenger station of the national railway and international through-railway, and also serves as a multi-modal transfer hub between Line 1 and Line 3 of the urban rail transit system and other public passenger transport routes.

Industrial and service facilities of the railway industry within the Hanoi Station area will be relocated to the Ngoc Hoi and Yen Vien station areas. The surface area of these facilities in the current Hanoi Station area will be used for other purposes.

+ Urban railways and express buses:

The urban railway system of Hanoi City will play a key role in the high-speed, large-capacity public passenger transport system, serving to connect urban areas, industrial zones, commercial-service-tourism centers, and schools. At the same time, urban railway lines must be interconnected to form a comprehensive network covering important urban areas of Hanoi.

The urban railway network of Hanoi by 2020 will include the following lines:

Line 1 (Ngoc Hoi - Yen Vien, Nhu Quynh): this line is about 38.7 km long, serving the northern-eastern and southern suburban areas of Hanoi, passing through the city center;

Line 2 (Noi Bai - city center - Thuan Dinh): approximately 35.2 km long, serving as the backbone for the current and future urban areas. Line 2 connects Noi Bai Airport and the new Dong Anh, Tu Liem urban areas, the Old Quarter, French-style architectural areas, along Highway 6 and to Thuan Dinh. The northern section of the river will run along the main urban axis from Nhat Tan - Vinh Ngoc - Noi Bai.

Supporting Line 2 of the urban railway is the express bus route, running from Soc Son - Dong Anh - Kim No - Me Linh - Vinh Yen, with a length of about 33.9 km. In the future, this express bus route may be developed into an urban railway line.

The Line Number 2 connects with the Hanoi - Ha Dong urban railway line, starting from Cat Linh area (intersecting with Line Number 3), running through Cat Linh - Hao Nam - La Thanh - Thai Ha - Lang Street - Ngua Tu So - National Highway 6 - Thuan Dinh (connecting with Line Number 2) - Ha Dong - Ba La. The Hanoi - Ha Dong urban railway line has a length of approximately 14 kilometers, and after 2020, it will be extended to Xuan Mai.

Line Number 3 (Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station - Hoang Mai): Line Number 3 has a length of 21 kilometers, connecting the western region with the city center and the southern part of the city. Currently, the section from Nhon to Hanoi Railway Station is being prepared for construction according to the project of Hanoi City. After 2020, Line Number 3 will be extended to Son Tay, with a total expected length of 48 kilometers at that time.

Line Number 4 (Dong Anh - Sai Dong - Vinh Tuy / Hoang Mai - Thanh Xuan - Tu Liem - Thuan Cat - Me Linh): This line is circular in shape, connecting with Lines Number 1, 2, 3, and 5, diversifying transportation needs and linking with urban development projects. Initially, Line Number 4 will be built as a bus rapid transit line, and in the future, it will develop into a complete urban railway line. The entire Line Number 4 has a length of approximately 53.1 kilometers.

Line Number 5 (South West Lake - Ngoc Khanh - Lang - Hoa Lac): This line serves to connect the central area of Hanoi with urban areas along the Lang - Hoa Lac corridor. The length of Line Number 5 is approximately 34.5 kilometers.

The structure, method, route, and implementation schedule of each urban railway line will be specifically studied in subsequent research phases and according to separate projects.

Supporting the urban railway lines are priority bus routes, including:

Route 1: Ba La Red Flower - National Highway 6 - Nguyen Trai - Khuat Duy Tien - Lang Ha - Kim Ma;

Route 2: Vinh Quynh - Giai Phong - Dai Co Viet - Pho Hue - Hang Bai.

In the future, when urban railway lines are established, the routes of the bus lines will be adjusted accordingly.

- Waterway Transportation Planning

Waterway transportation in the Hanoi area includes two main routes: the Red River route (from Thuan Cat, Tu Liem to Van Phuc, Thanh Tri), with a length of 47 kilometers; and the Duong River route (from the intersection of the Red River and Duong River at the Da Ngo junction to Trung Mau, Gia Lam), with a length of 37 kilometers.

- Navigation Channel Planning:

Navigation channel planning combines with adjustments and construction of riverbank protection works for both the Red River and Duong River. The width of the navigation channel is 50 meters for two-way channels; specifically, the Red River section in Hanoi will be planned for four lanes, with a minimum width of 150 meters. Ensuring a minimum depth of 2.5 to 3.6 meters for vessels on the Red River; 2.5 meters for the Duong River.

- Rectification and Improvement of Waterway Routes:

+ Step 1: Adjust the natural river course to the planned river course using a system of works affecting the flow and channel bed, depending on each section of the river. Construct control works for the ratio and position of tributary outlets into the Duong River, stabilizing the river course according to the plan;

+ Step 2: Build new and upgrade existing riverbank protection works after stabilizing the river course. Protect key sections of the riverbank from Thang Long Bridge to Thanh Tri Bridge, sections related to tourism, and enhance the cityscape (right bank from Lien Mac Drainage Gate to Hanoi Port and left bank from Vinh Ngoc to Duong River Mouth, Duong River Mouth to Thach Cau Port);

+ Step 3: Construct protective embankments sequentially along the remaining riverbanks.

Alongside the improvement of the Red River waterway transportation in Hanoi, dredging and improvement work will be carried out to complete the river route from Hanoi to Day Estuary and Lac Giang, particularly the improvement of the estuary channel from the sea.

The Red River rectification plan is divided into three stages, implemented from 2008 to 2020:

+ Stage I (2008 - 2012): Rectify the Thuan Cat - Thang Long Bridge section;

+ Stage II (2013 - 2016): Rectify the Thang Long Bridge - Thanh Tri Bridge section;

+ Stage III (2017 - 2020): Rectify the Thanh Tri Bridge - Duyen Ha section.

River rectification work is combined with urban development projects, environmental improvement, and the construction and upgrading of parallel road systems.
