The expressway runs from Ky Son ward in Hoa Binh city to Phieng Luong commune in Son La’s Moc Chau district with a total length of about 85km.
Na San airport, 300 kilometers northwest of Hanoi, was first built in 1950 by France. During the war, the airport was used as an entrenched fortification of the French army. In the 1960s, the airport was renovated to serve travel demand in the northwest region but was closed thereafter.
The airport is designed to serve both civil and military purposes, with an annual capacity of handing 1.5 million passengers by 2030.
