Construction time of Ninh Binh-Hai Phong expressway section to be cut by half
Construction time of an expressway section through northern Ninh Binh province, connecting with the nearby port city of Hai Phong, will be cut by half, according to the latest plan approved by the provincial People’s Committee.
The implementation of the project is slated to last for from 2024 to 2026, three years earlier than the last schedule.
The 25.3-km section is designed to have four lanes with a maximum speed of 120 kph. Total investment capital is estimated at VND6.865 trillion ($267 million).
Construction is expected to start in April this year, according to the provincial authorities.
The section is part of the 109-km Ninh Binh - Hai Phong Expressway project, which was approved by the Prime Minister in September 2021.
The expressway will run through Ninh Binh, Thai Binh and Nam Dinh provinces before reaching the port city of Hai Phong.
