To implement the entire Nhon-Hanoi Station urban railway project, as many as 500 trees in many Hanoi streets would be removed or cut down. According to the investor's initial survey; around 400 could be removed to gardens outside Hanoi for being taken care of, while the remainder are likely to be felled.

Construction on the 12-km Nhon-Hanoi Station urban railway was started in September 2010. The project, with a cost estimate of 780 million Euro (USD1.14 billion) funded by France and the Asian Development Bank, is slated for completion in 2018.
