Article Description| Preliminary construction began on Feb. 21 for Vietnam’s first metro, in Ho Chi Minh City. The 19.7-kilometer line will run for 2.6 km underground. The $1.1-billion project will be financed mainly by Japanese-tied soft loans. The nation’s second line is not far behind. Bidding for the estimated $500-million Hanoi metro is likely this year. In November, city officials recruited Paris-based SYSTRA as general consultant for the capital’s planned 12.5-km-long, mainly elevated rail, with 2.9 km buried. |
