Project Description
The GMS Northeastern Corridor (encompassing Nanning in Guangxi Province, People's Republic of China; Hanoi and Thanh Hoa in Viet Nam; Louang Phrabang, Lao Peoples Democratic Republic; and Bangkok, Thailand) is one of the corridors identified in the GMS Transport Sector Strategy Study and links northeastern Lao PDR and northern Viet Nam. Many of the roads in the transport corridor have been improved including the sections of the corridor in northeastern Lao PDR and northern Viet Nam under the ongoing project (L2703 VIE) to maximize the economic potential of the GMS Northeastern Corridor and to improve northern Lao PDR with year-round access to seaports. As the road conditions between km 59.8 (where Highway 217 intersects with Ho Chi Minh Highway which connects Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh cities) and km 104.9 have significantly deteriorated due to the increased traffic (coming from Na Meo, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh cities) and the vehicle overloading, the Government of Viet Nam requested ADB to consider providing additional financing for full scale improvement of the road section km 59.8- 104.9 rather than simple repair as originally planned under L2703.
Progress (as of March 2021)
Ongoing. Started by September 2017. To be completed by 30 June 2020.
