Vietnam to invest $1.3b to ease traffic congestion near int'l airport
Traffic congestion at HCM City's Tan Son Nhat airport worsens.
Ho Chi Minh City - XINHUA
Ho Chi Minh City plans to pour over 30 trillion Vietnamese dong (1.3 billion U.S. dollars) into building flyover bridges, expanding roads, and constructing an elevated road to minimize traffic congestion at the gateway to its overloaded international airport Tan Son Nhat, the municipal Transport Department said Saturday.
The airport is located deep in inner Ho Chi Minh City with only one gateway on Truong Son Road, and its maximum capacity is to serve 26.5 million passengers a year. It is predicted to serve over 30 million passengers this year.
Among the potential projects totaling over 30 trillion Vietnamese dong, a project is expected to be implemented in 2017 to build a 9.5-km elevated road linking Tan Son Nhat international airport with the city's center, with investment of 15-16 trillion Vietnamese dong (around 695 million U.S. dollars).
The new road is forecast to open to traffic after three years of construction.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
