The Ringway 3 of Greater Hanoi area (Vietnamese: Đường Vành đai 3 Hà Nội), signed as CT.37 is a major freeway and urban thoroughfare surrounding the inner part of Hanoi. As the first ringway built in Greater Hanoi area, Ringway 3 connects most of the newly developed area outside the urban core of Hanoi. In addition to that, Ringway 3 is the terminus of most expressway connecting Greater Hanoi to other regions of Vietnam. Due to its importance, Ringway 3 is one of the busiest and most congested highway in Vietnam, carrying from 8 to 10 times its maximum capacity.[1] To deal with congestion, the Government of Vietnam has proposed building additional ringway to help alleviate traffic on Ringway 3.
