Đà Nẵng moves forward with railway plan
The city of Đà Nẵng has started a pre-feasibility study to relocate the city’s railway station and redevelop the space with an urban project at a total cost of US$683.2 million. The city’s chairman, Huỳnh Đức Thơ, announced the plan after a meeting with the city’s relevant agencies, departments and representatives of the World Bank and Asia Development Bank. Thơ said the project would be a crucial part of dealing with the city’s traffic congestion and act as a face-lift for the city’s future. As scheduled, the new railway station will be built in Liên Chiểu District on a space of 43.1ha, with a new 18.21km rail line and an improvement of 7km of old track, as well as a new 80.1ha cargo station on the site of the current Kim Liên station.
