The inter-regional Ring Road 4 around Hanoi, with six lanes of expressways, will pass through Hanoi and the nearby provinces of Hung Yen and Bac Ninh. The project is expected to offer opportunities for cities and provinces along the route, as well as the Northern Key Economic Zone in general, to thrive socio-economically.
Construction on a section of Ring Road 3 around Ho Chi Minh City, the southern economic hub of Vietnam, is set to start this Sunday. On the same day, work will begin on the Bien Hoa-Vung Tau Expressway, which is also part of the Southern Key Economic Zone (SKEZ).
The SKEZ covers HCMC and the provinces of Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Long An, Ba Ria- Vung Tau, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, and Tien Giang. Ring Road 3 will run 76.3 kilometers through HCMC, Dong Nai, Binh Duong, and Long An. It will cost an estimated VND75.4 trillion ($3.2 billion).
