Thai firm to study expressway linking Halong, Mong Cai
Italian-Thai Development Public Co. Ltd. of Thailand will conduct study
on the Halong-Mong Cai Expressway, under the memorandum signed with the
government of Quang Ninh on Monday (May 28).
The expressway stretching 151.5 kilometers in Quang Ninh Province is part of the Noi Bai-Halong-Mong Cai expressway project. The expressway starts from the road connecting Halong City to the Hanoi-Haiphong Expressway and ends at Bac Luan II Bridge in Mong Cai City.
The project consists of six traffic lanes, with a road width of 35 meters and a design speed of 120 kilometers per hour. Along the route, there will be 17 large bridges, 42 medium bridges, eight intersection overpasses and 20 overpasses crossing over national highways and provincial roads.
It is expected that the expressway will be completed after three years of construction. The total investment capital is estimated at US$1.5 billion, says a report on the website of the Ministry of Transport.
At the working session, Do Thong, vice chairman of Quang Ninh, emphasized the Halong-Mong Cai Expressway plays an important role in promoting the development of Quang Ninh Province.
Earlier, Premchai Karnasuta, president of Italian-Thai Development, and his colleagues had surveyed the route to be turned into the Halong-Mong Cai Expressway. The company made a proposal concerning the issues of site clearance and change of the investment format.
In response to the proposal, vice chairman Thong asked the investor to speed up the research on the directions and the scale of the expressway, so that both sides can look into funding and investment method matters, aiming to have an investment proposal by late September.
The two sides will form a group in charge of accelerating the project study.
