HCMC – Work has begun on phase one of an expressway connecting Tuyen Quang and Ha Giang provinces, reported the local media.
The Tuyen Quang-Ha Giang Expressway will form a corridor connecting the provinces in the Red River Delta and those in the northern upland region via the Noi Bai-Lao Cai, Tuyen Quang-Phu Tho, and Tuyen Quang-Ha Giang expressways.
Upon completion, this expressway will alleviate inter-regional traffic congestion, providing a direct route from Hanoi through Tuyen Quang Province to the Thanh Thuy international border gate in Ha Giang.
The first phase of the Tuyen Quang-Ha Giang Expressway spans 104.5 kilometers across Tuyen Quang and Ha Giang provinces, requiring an investment of VND6,800 billion. The Government will fund VND4,500 billion, with the remainder sourced from the local budget.
As of now, the transportation sector reports that 1,822 kilometers of expressway has been opened to traffic across the country. With the commencement of construction on five more expressway projects by the end of this year, Vietnam anticipates having 3,000 kilometers of expressway by 2025.
