The Capital Region Ring Road 4 project is considered a key project for Hanoi City. Ring Road 4 passes through Hanoi, Hung Yen, and Bac Ninh, connecting with the Hanoi – Lao Cai and Noi Bai – Ha Long highways, with a total investment of VND 85,813 billion. The project was launched in 2022, started construction on June 25, 2023, and aims to be basically completed in 2026, with commissioning expected in 2027.

In fact, the Capital Region Ring Road 4 project is being implemented under 7 component projects and operated independently. Of these, Hanoi City is implementing 3 component projects, including compensation, support, resettlement; construction of the parallel road in Hanoi; investment in the highway system under the public-private partnership (PPP) method. For Hung Yen and Bac Ninh, each province will be responsible for 2 component projects, namely compensation, support, resettlement; construction of the parallel road in each province.
Ring Road 4 – Capital Region passes through the provinces and cities of Hanoi, Hung Yen, and Bac Ninh, with a total length of 112.8 km.
Upon completion, the Capital Region Ring Road 4 project is expected to help alleviate traffic congestion, connect provinces, and create new development space for the entire capital region, including Hanoi, Hung Yen, and Bac Ninh. The emergence of Ring Road 4, a key traffic project, will also contribute to the strong development of the economy and real estate in many districts and counties in the north of the capital.
Price levels and adjustment roadmap for road use fees on Ring Road 4 – Capital Region.
Previously, in November 2023, the Hanoi People’s Committee sent an official dispatch to the Ministry of Transport, the People’s Committees of Bac Ninh and Hung Yen provinces, proposing to unify the price and price increase roadmap for expressway use services applicable to component project 3 (the project to invest in the construction of expressways under the PPP method) of the Ring Road 4 – Capital Region project.
According to the proposal, component project 3 has a basic expressway use fee of VND 1,900 per standard vehicle/km. The expected time for commissioning is 2027, and the expressway use service price roadmap will be adjusted every 3 years until the capital is recovered.
According to the Hanoi People’s Committee, the starting fee per km of Ring Road 4 expressway is VND 1,900 (for standard vehicles) to ensure the financial plan and is within the prescribed price range.
