Vietnam Road Administration has just submitted to the Ministry of Construction for approval to adjust the Road Network Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050. In particular, this agency proposed to adjust the scope of 7 expressways. Download Most of the adjustments do not change the role of expressways but focus on adding missing connection sections, lengthening the starting and ending points or adjusting route directions to promote efficiency of the entire network. The adjustments stem from the need to update the National Master Plan, the development orientation of new economic corridors, the results of the arrangement of provincial-level administrative units as well as increased transport demand in the coming period. Notably, most of the adjustments do not change the role of expressways but focus on adding missing connection sections, lengthening the start and end points or adjusting route directions to promote efficiency of the entire network. Adding missing connection sections to complete expressways. First, the Vietnam Road Administration proposed adding the Viet Tri - Hoa Binh section to the Western North - South expressway with a length of about 44km, 4 lanes, connecting from the area. Viet Tri area to Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh expressway and proposed for investment before and after 2030. According to the Department of Roads, after arranging the three localities of Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc and Hoa Binh into the new Phu Tho province, the need to connect the new administrative center with urban areas, industrial parks and dynamic areas has increased significantly. The addition of this section will increase the connectivity between the North - South Expressway in the West with the North - South Expressway in the East, Noi Bai - Lao Cai and Hanoi - Dien Bien, forming a continuous network, while expanding the space for industrial, urban and service development in the Northern midland region. For the Hanoi - Lao Cai route, the Vietnam Road Administration proposed adjusting to reduce the length of the last section at Kim Thanh border gate area, changing the section from Km261+470 to Km262+815 become local roads. The adjustment is to suit the actual exploitation and organization of traffic in the border gate area and decentralization of management when the Ministry of Construction has assigned the Peoples Committee of Lao Cai province to manage the last section of the route. The Hanoi - Thai Nguyen - Bac Kan - Cao Bang route is proposed to extend the end point from Thuc Phan ward area to the intersection with Dong Dang - Tra Linh expressway. This extension will close the Northeast regions expressway network, increase the efficiency of the two expressways being invested in, and create convenient connections to international border gates. For the Vung Ang - Cha Lo route, the Vietnam Road Administration proposes to adjust the starting point from National Highway 1 to the Ky Anh bypass. This option helps connect more conveniently with the seaport system and functional areas in Vung Ang Economic Zone, while reducing traffic conflicts with existing urban areas. In the Central Highlands region, the Lien Khuong - Buon Ma Thuot route is proposed to extend the starting point from Lien Khuong to connect directly with the North - South Eastern Expressway to create an additional important East - West corridor, strengthen the connection between the Southern Central Highlands and the South Central coastal region, and promote the Effective exploitation of seaports and logistics centers in the region. Completing the southern coastal expressway axis. One of the other notable proposals is to extend the route Ho Chi Minh City - Tien Giang - Ben Tre - Tra Vinh - Soc Trang - Ca Mau to intersect with Ca Mau - Dat Mui expressway.

According to the Vietnam Road Administration, the extension of the route to meet the increasing transport demand on the Mekong Delta coastal corridor, while effectively connecting with Tran De port, Hon Khoai port and Ca Mau - Dat Mui expressway is being implemented. When completed, the expressway will contribute to reducing the load on National Highway 1, opening up new development space for the coastal area, increasing the ability to adapt to climate change and strengthening national defense and security in the southernmost region of the country. For Belt 5 of Hanoi, the Vietnam Road Administration proposes to locally adjust the section through Thai Nguyen province in a direction that does not overlap with the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen expressway. According to the assessment of the planning agency, the existing route section has been invested according to road standards. 4-lane urban area and still meet traffic needs in the immediate period. However, expanding to 6 lanes as planned will face many difficulties. Therefore, adjusting the route alignment will create conditions for building an independent belt route in the future, ensuring long-term exploitation capacity, and expanding the development space for the Capital region after completing the arrangement of administrative units. According to the Vietnam Road Administration, extending, supplementing or adjusting the route alignment will help expressways promote synchronous exploitation efficiency, forming continuous transport corridors between border gates, seaports, airports, logistics centers and key economic regions. point. This is also an important basis to meet the increasing demand for transportation, while creating new development space for localities in the context of reorganizing the socio-economic development space of the country.Phan TrangThamSee moreTemporarily suspend the operation of the Cam Lo - La Son expressway from July 10.
