A groundbreaking ceremony for the Ninh Binh section of the Ninh Binh – Hai Phong Expressway was held on April 19.

The Ninh Binh - Hai Phong Expressway serves as a strategic transportation route connecting the northern coastal provinces with the North-South expressway axis.

The section that runs through the northern province of Ninh Binh spans approximately 25.3 km, passing through Yen Mo and Yen Khanh districts. The project entails a total investment capital of over VND6.8 trillion ($263 million), utilizing funds from both central and provincial budgets.

Designed to Class A expressway standards, the project features a design speed of 120 km/h. It includes 4 interchanges, 12 overpasses, 19 underpasses for local access, frontage roads, drainage works, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and rest stops, ensuring a synchronous, modern, and safe infrastructure system.
