Drained

Why did they drain it? It appears to be part of work to link up all the road around the banks of the lake which you can see starting to take shape above.
They also seem to be using the opportunity to get a bit of dredging in (dredging is never ending in lake-blessed Hanoi). Perhaps even some drainage work and some kind of water management too.
Any one better informed than me?

Pretty sure it’s only temporary….just periodical dredge/clean up and to do bits of the new road.
Yeah agreed.
The road here seems quite straight forward but I can’t quite work out how it’s going to skirt Nghi Tam. It’s gone so far but no more buildings seems to be being demolished. Will it go out onto the lake?
