Once being put into use, the route will help to shorten the travel time from Hanoi to Mong Cai from six hours at present to just three.
Mong Cai-Van Don Expressway
Around 200 workers are currently speeding up the work on the route’s section running through Dai Xuyen Bridge.
Work on Van Don-Mong Cai Expressway was kicked off in April, 2019. The project with a total investment capital of more than VND11 trillion (USD474.40 million) is 80.2 kilometres long and has four lanes, running through the districts of Van Don, Tien Yen, Dam Ha and Hai Ha and Mong Cai city.
Once the road is completed, it will connect with the Ha Long-Hai Phong and Ha Long-Van Don highways, creating the longest highway in Vietnam that runs from the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai to Mong Cai via Hanoi and Hai Phong. The route will help to shorten the travel time from Hanoi to Mong Cai to three hours from the current six hours.
Van Don-Mong Cai Expressway will go through Quang Ninh’s industrial parks and economic zones, including Quang Yen, Van Don, Hai Ha and Mong Cai.
