1 Introduction of The Project
1.1 Context leading to the project
Located centrally in the northern region of the country, Hanoi, Hai Phong and Quang Ninh
have come a strong economic triangle, determining the social and economic development of
the area. Before the launch of Hanoi- HaiPhong expressway project, Highway 5 is the main
axis road connecting 2 cities and and is responsible to carry a big volume of goods and
passengers. However, it has been overloaded for the past few years due to the development of
industrial zones and living groups along the highway. Besides, it was often congested and
prone to accidents. This limited the mobility of goods and people between the two cities,
affecting economic development and social welfare in the region. These issues leading to
increase demand for efficient and reliable transportation networks.
Recognizing the importance of improving transportation infrastructure, the expressway project
was launched as part of its wider plan to enhance the country's connectivity and
competitiveness. The project was also seen as a critical step towards achieving Vietnam's
national development goals, including reducing poverty and promoting sustainable economic
growth.
The Hanoi- Haiphong expressway is a major freight corridor for Vietnam's Northern Pivotal
Economic Region as well as the Hanoi-Haiphong Economic Corridor. This is a 105.5 km long
class A expressway project from Hanoi, passing through Hung Yen and Hai Duong provinces
and to the port city of Hai Phong, providing a modern and efficient transportation link between
the two cities and contributing to the economic and social development of the northern
region.
This project is international because it is managed by the China Road and Bridge Corporation.
The Hanoi-Haiphong Expressway is an international project because it was financed by the
Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) which is part of the World Bank Group.
Additionally, Meinhardt International (Singapore-based engineering company) in association
with Japan Engineering Consultants provided the construction supervision services. Hadicon
(Vietnamese company) was engaged in conducting survey and design works for three packages
of the expressway for a total length of approximately 30km. Joton (Vietnamese firm) was the
supplier of traffic paints for the project.

1.2 Challenges facing to the project
The Hanoi-Haiphong expressway project faced several challenges during its development and
operation. Some of the main challenges include:
Financing: The expressway project required significant financial investment, and securing
funding was a major challenge. The Vietnamese government, international development banks,
and private investors provided the majority of the financing for the project.
Land acquisition: The project required the acquisition of large tracts of land, which posed
challenges related to compensation and resettlement of affected communities. The project
developers had to work closely with local authorities and communities to mitigate the impact

Maintenance: The Hanoi-Haiphong expressway requires regular maintenance and repairs to
ensure its safe and efficient operation. The project developers face challenges related to funding
and implementing effective maintenance strategies to ensure the expressway's long-term
sustainability.
1.3 Objectives of project
1.3.1 Objective
The objective of the Hanoi-Haiphong expressway project is to provide a high-speed and safe
transportation network between Hanoi and the port city of Haiphong. The project aims to
reduce travel time between the two cities and improve access to key economic zones, industrial
parks, and tourist destinations. In addition, the goal of the Hanoi - Hai Phong highway is to
connect with the Ha Long - Hai Phong highway to complete the connection of the Northern
economic triangle including the provinces and cities of Hanoi - Hai Phong - Quang Ninh. . The
expressway is expected to support the growth of the region's manufacturing and export sectors
and enhance the competition of businesses in the area.
1.3.2 Vision
The vision of the Hanoi-Haiphong expressway project is to create a world-class transportation
network that connectivity and fosters economic triangle development in northern Vietnam. The
project seeks to improve the region's infrastructure and increase its attractiveness to investors,
tourists, and businesses. The expressway will also contribute to reducing traffic congestion and
improving road safety.
1.3.3 Mission
The mission of the Hanoi-Haiphong Expressway project is to build a high-quality expressway
that meets the needs of travelers, businesses, and communities in the region. The project aims
to provide a safe and comfortable driving experience, reduce traffic congestion and accidents,
and enhance the economic competition of Hanoi and Haiphong in particular and the Northern
key economic triangle in general. The project also seeks to promote sustainable development
by minimizing the environmental impact of the expressway and demonstrating that it is
integrated with local communities and natural resources.
