Covering an area of 131,521m2 in the wards of Hoa Cuong Bac and Hoa Thuan Dong, Hai Chau District, the VND723 traffic re-arrangement project borders Binh Minh 6 Street to the north, 29 March to the south, the Han River to the east, and military agencies and residential areas to the west.

As planned, the billion traffic project will consist of 3 levels. The lowest level will be a 4-lane road tunnel taking Duy Tan under the busy junctions with Le Dinh Tham and the western end of the Tran Thi Ly Bridge.

The upper level on ground will be a roundabout, whilst the highest level will be a 14m-wide 4-lane steel overpass over 2 September Street. There will also be two 6m-wide frontage roads at the both sides of the overpass.

Once it is put into use, traffic project at the western end of the Tran Thi Ly Bridge will significantly reduce the current traffic congestion at intersections nearby during peak hours, in a tandem with reducing the volume of traffic on roads leading to the Da Nang International Airport.
The whole project will be open to traffic not later than December 31, 2021 as per recent request of the municipal administration.
