Started in March 2025, the Cho Moi - Bac Kan expressway project is 28km long, with a total investment of 5,800 billion VND. The expressway has a scale of 4 lanes, design speed of 80km/h.
Recorded by PV at the beginning of January 2026, after nearly 1 year of implementation, the project's shape has gradually emerged. Hundreds of workers and machinery and equipment are mobilized for construction. Along with the roadbed items, bridges and culverts, the project resettlement area is also being implemented synchronously.
The entire route currently has 41 construction teams with nearly 400 locomotives, equipment and hundreds of workers.
According to Project Management Unit 2 - Ministry of Construction (the investor), by the end of 2025, the roadbed item had been constructed over 2 million cubic meters, reaching more than 16% of the volume. In which, the volume of foundation filling reached nearly 11%.
5 bridges on the route are being constructed, with a completed volume of over 32%.
As for the Ring Road I project, the project is more than 14km long, worth 1,152 billion VND and started construction at the end of 2024. Currently, the investor is coordinating with localities to remove site congestion points for construction.
According to the leader of Vo Tranh commune, the locality has handed over 1.7km (total 1.8km) of clean ground to the construction unit. The remaining area is facing obstacles because 10 households have not been resettled.
Vo Tranh commune has planned and arranged a resettlement land area of 7.2ha, which will relocate households in the near future.
According to the plan, the road will be completed by the end of 2026, with the goal of reducing the load on National Highway 1B, synchronizing transport infrastructure, promoting investment attraction and promoting socio-economic development.
