Severe drought conditions have caused the Red River’s water level to drop significantly, revealing the base of the Van Lang Bridge, a vital link between Hanoi and Phu Tho.

The transition towards green transport like EVs (electric vehicles) is presenting both opportunities and challenges in the effort to improve air quality in Vietnam.

To combat environmental degradation, Hanoi plans a $23 million project to pump water from the Red River into To Lich River, with two potential pipeline routes under consideration.

The Vietnamese government is working on policies to promote green transportation in state agencies, a move aligned with its environmental goals.
