Hanoi-Hai Phong expressway

The Hanoi-Hai Phong expressway, Tan Vu-Lach Huyen route, and Dinh Vu-Cat Hai sea-crossing bridge have been connected to the Hanoi-Lao Cai expressway shortening travel time from Lao Cai to Hai Phong international gateway port to 6 hours. In addition to 42 ports stretching along an 11 km pier, the Hai Phong International Gateway Port in Lach Huyen will come into operation next year. It was designed to accommodate ships of 100,000 DWT and will enable direct exports to Europe and America. Cat Bi and Hai Phong airports are capable of serving international flights. Nguyen Xuan Binh is Vice Chairman of the Hai Phong Municipal People’s Committee: “Hai Phong is an important traffic hub connecting Vietnam’s northern provinces with China’s southern provinces, particularly Yunnan. Hai Phong will tap its potential to boost cooperation between localities.”

Mr. To Quoc Tuan, Vietnamese General Consul in Kunming said that it’s necessary to renovate the railways and tourism infrastructure: “If upgraded, the transport infrastructure will boost cooperation between Vietnamese localities and those in China with a population of hundreds of millions of people. We need to promote tourism cooperation in order to boost China’s trade and investment in Vietnam.”

The Beilun Bridge 2 at the Mong Cai border gate, Quang Ninh province was inaugurated in September. Once the Hai Phong-Ha Long expressway is completed, traffic will be connected between Kunming, and Yunnan province in China and cities and provinces within Vietnam’s economic corridor.
