I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. The Ha Noi Metro Rail System Project (Line 3: Nhon–Ha Noi station section) is to develop: (i) a 12.5 kilometer (km) long dual track rail line from Nhon to Ha Noi main railway station1; and (ii) electrical and mechanical (E&M) systems, including all railway systems required to operate a modern metro line. In addition, support will be provided for detailed design, procurement, construction supervision, design verification, project management and capacity development. 2. The Metro Line 3 is one of four priority rail lines under the Ha Noi Urban Transport Master Plan (HUTMP) until 2020 in accordance with Prime Minister’s Decision No.90/2008/QD- DTG of 9 July 2008. Metro Line 3 will facilitate public transport connectivity, enhance access in six Ha Noi districts and form an integral part of an improved public transport system that aims to increase the modal share of public transport to 40% of demand, through low-carbon transport that reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The executing agency (EA) is the Ha Noi People’s Committee (HPC) and the implementing agency (IA) is the Ha Noi Metropolitan Railway Management Board (MRB). 3. The impact of the project will be the establishment of an integrated sustainable public transport system in six districts of Ha Noi.2 The outcome will be competitive metro rail services along the project corridor. The project outputs will be: (i) Metro Line 3 is operational; and (ii) improved implementation capacity of MRB.3 (i) Component 1 - Metro Line 3 System Development: including all Works and E&M systems for Metro line 3, from Nhon depot in the west to Ga Ha Noi measuring (a) approximately 12.5 km in length, of which about 3.5 km is underground, about 8.5 km will be elevated and about 500 meters will be in transition ramp; and (b) depot and ancillary buildings, elevated viaducts, transition tunnel portal, bored tunnels, and 12 stations. The Works portion of this component includes all civil, structural, building services, architectural/builders work and all necessary utility services to the works. The E&M system portion of this component includes all railway systems including track work, rolling stock, traction power, signaling and telecommunications, E&M systems and facilities, and ticketing system and ancillary services and facilities required to operate a modern Metro line. (ii) Component 2 – Implementation Support: supporting to MRB to improve metro development, implementation and operations capacity by providing skills in specific technical disciplines and knowledge transfer of these skills to MRB staff through on-the-job training and workshops, and addressing organizational, functional, and technical capacity shortfalls. 4. Asian Development Bank (ADB) provided technical assistance for initial feasibility study of the project.4 The original ADB loan of $293 million from ordinary capital resources (OCR) 1 The rail system included 3.5 km underground, 8.5 km elevated, and 500 m in a transition ramp, including a depot with ancillary buildings at Nhon, elevated viaducts, transition tunnel portal, bored tunnels, and 12 stations. 2 Number of districts increased from five to six as Tu Liem was split into Tu Liem North and Tu Liem South in 2012. 3 At time of loan approval in 2011, MRB was named Ha Noi Metropolitan Rail Transport Project Board. 4 ADB. 2006. Technical Assistance to the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam for Preparing the Ha Noi Metro Rail System Project. Manila (TA 4900-VIE). The feasibility study was subsequently updated and completed by DGT-funded consultants. 2 financing for the project was approved on 29 March 2011, and made effective on 13 March 2012. With cofinancing from Agence Française de Développement (AFD) for €110 million, Direction Générale du Trésor (DGT) for €250 million and European Investment Bank (EIB) for €73 million, nine civil work and equipment contracts and four consulting services contracts have been financed.
