1.8 km road connecting Lach Huyen Port terminals to be built in northern Vietnam
The Hai Phong Economic Zone Management Board has taken a significant step forward in enhancing infrastructure around Lach Huyen Port by establishing a council to appraise the environmental impact assessment for the road connecting terminals No. 3 to No. 6.
The project aims to improve connectivity and bolster the area's logistical capacity.

Previously in March 2024, the city People's Council granted in-principle approval for the project with investment capital of VND716.5 billion ($28.2 million). The implementation period is from 2023-2027.
This is good news for Hai Phong Port JSC - the investors of terminals No. 3-4, and Hateco Group JSC - the investor of terminals No. 5-6.
The total length of the route is about 1,832 meters. The road cross-section is 37 m wide, with six lanes, safety strips, median strips, sidewalks, and curbs.
The first section, 900 m, will be built from 2023-2025, with investment of VND309 billion ($12.1 million). The remaining section, 932 m, is scheduled for 2026-2027, with VND500 billion ($19.6 million). As planned, construction will commence in Q4/2024.
The Lach Huyen deep-water port complex is a key project of Hai Phong, helping the city to affirm its role as a logistics center in northern Vietnam.
At a meeting at the municipal People's Council on December 4, the Hai Phong People's Committee leaders said that a proposal on building the Tan Vu-Lach Huyen 2 bridge and access road is expected to be submitted to Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh for approval in Q1/2025.
The sea-crossing bridge will be built on the left side of the existing bridge from 2026-2030, with investment of more than VND8,700 billion ($341 million). When completed, it will meet the huge transportation needs of the Lach Huyen seaport area.
