ĐÀ NẴNG — One more riverside traffic route – the Tuyên Sơn-Túy Loan – has been added to the central city’s tourism ring-road system to boost smooth connections between destinations.

The city said the 7km route, which was built for VNĐ745 billion (US$29.8 million), runs along Cẩm Lệ and Túy Loan rivers to link destinations in Liên Chiểu District, Thuận Phước, East Bạch Đằng and beach tourism sites in Sơn Trà Peninsula, Hội An and national road systems.

The two-lane 10.5m wide route will offer more convenient traffic for commuters and buses in transporting travellers on the trans-Việt Nam to the city and world heritages sites in the central region.

Also, on the occasion of the country’s Reunification Day and May Day vacation (April 30 - May 1), the city debuted the expansion project of the Đà Nẵng Monument and the March 29 Square.

A series of ring-road systems had been used in setting up entrance connection with the newly inaugurated Tuyên Sơn-Túy Loan river-ring road, including coastal Nguyễn Tất Thành Street and the Hải Vân Tunnel-Túy Loan Ring-road; the Hòa Phước-Hòa Khương and La Sơn-Túy Loan Expressway in the northwest.

Đà Nẵng has been investing much in urban development to make it a ‘green’ and ‘smart’ city by 2025.

The neighbouring Quảng Nam Province has also completed a key coastal road linking Đà Nẵng, Hội An, Duy Xuyên, Thăng Bình, Tam Kỳ City and Chu Lai Airport.

The province said the four-lane 36.5km Võ Chí Công road, which was part of the 69km section in the national coastal road system, will offer a good connection for both tourism and logistics transport from Đà Nẵng and Hội An to industrial zones in Quảng Nam and National Road No 14H and National Highway No 1A. — VNS
