The northern province of Quang Ninh will spend some VND9.5 trillion building a new riverside road to connect Quang Yen Town with Dong Trieu Town and improve its connectivity with other provinces and cities.

The strategic road is expected to boost the growth of western Quang Ninh Province, Lao Dong Online reported.

At a meeting on March 24, the Quang Ninh People’s Council approved a plan to invest in a riverside road linking the Halong-Haiphong expressway and Dong Trieu Town. The road will be 41.2 kilometers long and have 10 lanes.

The road project, whose investment will be sourced from the province’s budget, will be carried out from 2021 to 2022.

Once in place, the road will motivate foreign investment in the Quang Yen and Dong Trieu towns, contributing to connecting major industrial zones such as Amata and Dam Nha Mac in the province and fostering the development of the northern economic triangle of Hanoi, Haiphong and Quang Ninh.

The road is also expected to help optimize the potential of some infrastructure projects associated with traffic and tourism.
