The Ministry of Transport has reported to the Government on the results of the review of investment in the transport system connecting to the expressway network.
According to the Ministry of Transport, as of now, 2,021km of expressways have been put into operation, with about 1,700km under construction and about 1,300km in the investment preparation stage. The Ministry is striving to achieve the target of having over 3,000km of expressways by 2025 and over 5,000km by 2030.
To maximize the efficiency of investments in the expressways that have been and are being constructed, creating space for economic development, and forming industrial parks, urban areas, and tourism hubs, it is essential to catalyze socio-economic progress in regions and localities. The Ministry of Transport emphasizes the importance of reviewing and planning investments in expressway connections, including grade-separated interchanges and connecting routes.
However, given the current resource constraints and the substantial investment requirements for completing expressway connections (estimated at VND 181,240 billion), the Ministry of Transport proposes a rational and effective investment strategy. It is crucial to prioritize investments to ensure synchronization with the expressway network, especially for those expressways nearing completion.
Therefore, the Ministry of Transport recommends that the Government direct the Ministry and 11 localities (Yen Bai, Lang Son, Hung Yen, Hai Duong, Vinh Phuc, Ha Nam, Thanh Hoa, Da Nang, Can Tho, Hau Giang, and Soc Trang) to expedite the construction and operation of interchanges and connecting routes that are in the investment preparation or construction stages.
For the remaining connections, the Ministry of Transport and the localities within their investment authority should review and prioritize allocating investment capital for connections (including the North-South Expressway in the Eastern Region, the North-South Expressway in the Western Region from Lo Te to Rach Soi, and the Hanoi-Hai Phong Expressway) during the implementation of the medium-term public investment plan for the 2026-2030 period.
The Ministry of Transport will continue to review and assess the necessity and investment needs of these connections to prioritize capital allocation and mobilize resources to invest in these connections in the 2026-2030 period and the following periods, meeting the socio-economic development demands of each period.
