Hai Phong Port City in northern Vietnam plans to invest VND19 trillion (over $722 million) in a high-speed road connecting its eastern and western regions, aiming to shorten travel time and spur socio-economic development.
Under the plan, the 23.5-kilometre route will start at the intersection between the city's Ring Road No.1 and the access road to Bui Thi Xuan Bridge, and end at the intersection between National Highway 10 and Nguyen Truong To Street.
The road will feature six lanes designed for a maximum speed of 80 km per hour, along with two parallel lanes for motorcycles and smaller vehicles, allowing a maximum speed of 60 km per hour.
The project is proposed for implementation under a public-private partnership (PPP) model and a build-transfer (BT) contract, with 100% of capital mobilized from investors.
Once completed, the new route is expected to significantly reduce travel time between Hai Phong’s western urban center and the city’s downtown area, while enhancing connectivity to key economic, industrial, seaport, aviation, and logistics hubs.
