On the morning of December 19, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the investment project to construct a road connecting Gia Binh Airport with the Capital City of Hanoi. The project includes 7 km of newly constructed road and 6.55 km overlapping with existing expressways, which will be upgraded and widened to a width of 120 meters. The total land area required for the project is approximately 289.87 hectares.
The newly constructed section starts at a connection point with the road within Bac Ninh Province and ends at the interchange of the Hanoi – Lang Son Expressway and the Hanoi – Thai Nguyen Expressway / Ring Road 3. The section to be expanded, which overlaps with the Hanoi – Thai Nguyen Expressway / Ring Road 3, is 6.55 km in length, connecting from Section 1 to the interchange with the approach road of Tu Lien Bridge. The route passes through the communes of Thuan An, Phu Dong, Thu Lam, and Dong Anh (Hanoi), and the wards of Tu Son and Phu Khe (Bac Ninh).

In addition, the project will construct two direct ramp connections from the Hanoi – Thai Nguyen Expressway / Ring Road 3 to the approach road of Tu Lien Bridge, each consisting of three lanes, 14 meters in width, and 2.5 km in length, facilitating connectivity between Gia Binh Airport and Tu Lien Bridge.
Alongside the Hanoi section, the segment of the route within Bac Ninh Province will also be implemented under the Public–Private Partnership (PPP) model, with a length of approximately 27.766 km, designed to expressway standards with 10 motorized lanes and a design speed of 120 km/h. Parallel roads will run along both sides, comprising four lanes with a maximum speed of 80 km/h. The preliminary total investment for this section is approximately VND 50 trillion.
The entire road connecting Gia Binh Airport with the Capital City of Hanoi has a total length of 41.316 km, with a total investment estimated at approximately VND 83,000 billion. Upon completion, the route is expected to become a key transportation artery at the northeastern gateway of the Capital, serving as the shortest and most modern transport corridor connecting Gia Binh Airport to central Hanoi. The project will contribute to completing the external transport network, reducing pressure on Noi Bai International Airport, and opening up new socio-economic development opportunities for the Capital’s gateway area..
