Dredging Project on Hanoi Waterways Begins

Song Hong Joint Stock Corporation yesterday, March 8, began work on a VND503 billion (US$25 million) scheme to improve drainage – and the environment – in channels opening into the To Lich, Hoang Liet, Lu and Set rivers skirting the capital.

The work includes dredging and cleaning the channel beds, creating embankments and setting up an underground drainage system, building roads above 15 channels in Ba Dinh, Tay Ho, Dong Da, Hoang Mai, Thanh Xuan, Hai Ba Trung and Thanh Tri districts.

The work will include avenues of trees and public lighting.
