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.
Bui Ngoc Hai is chairman of the council, with engineer Pham Hong Minh as vice chairman and associate Prof. Dr. Ngo Kim Dinh and Dr. Bui Thanh Tung as members.

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.
