The People’s Committee of Ninh Binh province in northern Vietnam has proposed that the Ministry of Construction seek the Prime Minister’s approval for an investment of over VND29.29 trillion ($1.11 billion) in four major transport infrastructure projects running through the province.

They include the expansion of the Cau Gie – Cao Bo section of the CT.01 expressway, construction of the Thai Ha – Phu Thu section of the Ring Road No.5, construction of the Phu Ly – Nam Dinh section of the CT.11 expressway, adding a new interchange to the CT.01 expressway, and adjustment of the existing Cao Bo – Quoc Lo 10 interchange.

These routes are expected to significantly improve Ninh Binh’s connectivity with Hanoi and other northern and north-central localities, contributing to regional socio-economic development.

The Cau Gie – Cao Bo section is proposed for expansion from four lanes to six lanes with a total length of 48.55km, with a total investment capital  estimated at VND2.2 trillion ($83.6 million). The section starts at Dai Xuyen commune of Hanoi and ends at Cao Bo interchange in Y Yen commune in Ninh Binh province.

The Thai Ha – Phu Thu section of the Ring Road No.5 will run 16.3km across the former provinces of Ha Nam and Ninh Binh (now Ninh Binh after the merger of provincial-level administrative units on July 1, 2025). Designed with six lanes, the project carries an investment capital of VND13.8 trillion ($524 million).

The Phu Ly – Nam Dinh expressway, measuring around 25.1km long, is projected to have eight lanes with a roadbed width of 35m. The project is estimated to cost VND10.18 trillion ($387 million).
