Project Description
The purpose of the TA is to assist the Government to strengthen regional infrastructure links within GMS region and prepare a project to upgrade Kunming-Haiphong Transport Corridor Project. The project will strenghten regional infrastructure network and improve domestic transportation system connecting Hanoi with the northern provinces.
The TA will be implemented in two phases: the first phase will examine pre-feasibility and viability of the road investment versus improvements of railways to select the optimum transport mode for this corridor. Phase 1 was previously covered under AOTA: VIE 36626-01 Financing Options for Kunming-Haiphong Transport Corridor Project. Depending on the outcome of this phase, a detailed feasibility report will be prepared to undertake an investment decision on the project for either the road improvement or railway improvement.

The 244-kilometer Noi Bai-Lao Cai Highway starts at Noi Bai in a suburb of Hanoi and ends at Lao Cai, on the border with the People's Republic of China (PRC) in northwest Viet Nam. The Noi Bai-Lao Cai Highway is an integral section of the eastern link of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Northern Economic Corridor, connecting Kunming in Yunnan province of the PRC with Hanoi, and Hai Phong and Cai Lan ports in Viet Nam. The highway decreased the cost of travel, which encouraged economic activities in the project area and employment opportunities for the local population, and improved access to social services.
