Infrastructure development in Hanoi has progressed through various stages of land clearance and construction. In early October, residents and businesses along Giai Phong Road began dismantling structures and relocating assets to facilitate the National Highway 1 Space Axis Project. Some residents reported compensation rates of approximately 372 million VND per square meter during this phase.

By late October, reports emerged regarding the negative impacts of ongoing road expansions, such as those on National Highway 6 and Road 70. Construction activities have led to safety hazards, including potholes, deep craters, and inadequate safety barriers. Additionally, residents have reported environmental concerns, specifically intense dust pollution and flooding caused by broken water pipes, which have increased accident risks for commuters.
