To enhance inter-regional and intra-regional connectivity to the west and create seamless links between existing expressways and northern provinces, cities, and the capital Hanoi, Quang Ninh is formulating and actively preparing plans to invest in an additional expressway—the Project Connecting the Hai Phong – Ha Long Expressway to Ring Road 5 of the Hanoi Capital Region. This project is expected to deliver a synchronized transport link, unlocking new development spaces and economic corridors for localities in the western area of Quang Ninh City.

Recognizing the strategic advantages and growth potential of investing in the route connecting the Hai Phong – Ha Long Expressway to Ring Road 5 of the Hanoi Capital Region, Quang Ninh has proactively researched investment alternatives and route alignments, while committing to allocate local budget funds for project implementation. Furthermore, at the First Extraordinary Session of the 16th National Assembly, the National Assembly Delegation of Quang Ninh City submitted an official document to the Chairman of the National Assembly requesting consideration to add the expressway connecting the Hai Phong – Ha Long Expressway to Ring Road 5 – Hanoi Capital Region into the Road Network Master Plan for the 2021–2030 Period, with a Vision to 2050.

According to the investment options and route alignment proactively studied by Quang Ninh, the Project Connecting the Hai Phong – Ha Long Expressway to Ring Road 5 – Hanoi Capital Region spans approximately 55 km. The starting point is located at the Ha Long Xanh interchange (Km6+700 on the Hai Phong – Ha Long – Mong Cai Expressway) in Tuan Chau Ward. The ending point connects to Ring Road 5 – Hanoi Capital Region within Hai Phong City in Tran Nhan Tong Ward, along with branch links to the Hai Phong – Gia Binh Expressway. The section traversing Quang Ninh City will run parallel to the Riverside Road (Tuyến đường Ven Sông). The expressway is designed to 6-lane standards with a design speed of 120 km/h and a total estimated investment of approximately VND 22,000 billion.

The Ring Road 5 – Hanoi Capital Region Project is slated to target commencement in the third quarter of 2027. For the 2026–2030 period, nearly VND 61,400 billion is earmarked to invest in 116 km of the mainline expressway crossing four provinces and cities: Ninh Binh, Hung Yen, Hai Phong, and Bac Ninh. Preparing all necessary conditions for the Project Connecting the Hai Phong – Ha Long Expressway to Ring Road 5 – Hanoi Capital Region demonstrates Quang Ninh’s proactive approach, ensuring readiness for implementation once authorized by competent authorities.

From today (September 20, 2026), Bac Ninh Province is officially designated as Bac Ninh City
Bac Ninh Province is officially designated as Bac Ninh City

According to Resolution 39/2026/QH16, Bac Ninh City is established based on the entire natural land area and population size of Bac Ninh Province. Bac Ninh City borders Hanoi City, Hai Phong City, Quang Ninh City, and the provinces of Hung Yen, Lang Son, and Thai Nguyen.

In addition, from the effective date of the Resolution, the People’s Council and the People’s Committee of Bac Ninh Province are converted into the People’s Council and the People’s Committee of Bac Ninh City. Agencies, organizations, and entities whose names are associated with the place name “Bac Ninh Province” are also renamed to operate under names associated with the place name “Bac Ninh City”.

The adjustment of the administrative designation is also reflected across the legal document system. According to Clause 3, Article 3 of Resolution 39/2026 of the National Assembly, for legal documents promulgated prior to the effective date of the Resolution and still implemented thereafter, the phrase “Bac Ninh Province” is replaced with “Bac Ninh City”.

Furthermore, papers and documents issued or granted by competent agencies or authorities before September 20, 2026, if still valid or within their validity period, will continue to remain valid until expiration, termination, or until they are amended, supplemented, replaced, repealed, canceled, or revoked in accordance with regulations. Therefore, citizens and organizations are not required to immediately replace their existing documents merely because the place name “Bac Ninh Province” has transitioned to “Bac Ninh City”.

In addition to the policies and regimes designated for centrally governed municipalities, specific mechanisms, regimes, and policies previously applicable to Bac Ninh Province will continue to be executed across Bac Ninh City until the conclusion of their implementation period or until a new decision is issued by competent authorities.

The Ministry of Construction announced that the Hai Phong – Ha Long – Mong Cai railway line, spanning approximately 187 km, is currently undergoing detailed planning and a pre-feasibility study.

Responding to petitions from voters in Quang Ninh Province regarding the implementation of the railway connecting with China, the Ministry of Construction stated that the Railway Network Master Plan for the 2021–2030 Period, with a Vision to 2050, identifies the Hai Phong – Ha Long – Mong Cai railway line as approximately 187 km long. The line originates at Nam Dinh Vu Station in Hai Phong and terminates in the Mong Cai area, Quang Ninh Province.

The railway is planned to utilize a standard 1,435 mm gauge, feature electrification, and undergo investment studies during the 2021–2030 period.

Currently, transportation along the Hai Phong – Ha Long – Mong Cai corridor is handled via road and waterway routes. Among these, freight is predominantly transported by inland waterways and coastal shipping due to lower logistics costs, while passenger transit is mainly served by roads. The Ha Long – Mong Cai Expressway is currently operating with 4 lanes and is assessed to be capable of meeting passenger transport demand through 2040. Current traffic volume on the expressway is approximately 9,000 PCUs (passenger car units), equivalent to 20% of its designed capacity.

The Ministry of Construction noted that once passenger and freight transport demand reaches a sufficient scale, investment in the Hai Phong – Ha Long – Mong Cai railway will be carried out. In the immediate future, priority will remain on maritime and river transport for freight to keep logistics costs down, while road networks continue to accommodate the majority of passenger travel demand.

Regarding investment preparation, in accordance with agreements between Vietnam and China along with directives from the Government, the Ministry of Construction has directed the Vietnam Railway Authority to coordinate with relevant Chinese authorities to formulate the Detailed Plan for the Hai Phong – Ha Long – Mong Cai railway line, with completion slated for 2026.
