The Directorate for Roads of Vietnam has proposed that the Ministry of Transport approve investment plans to upgrade National Highway No. 12B and National Highway No. 15 in northern Hoa Binh province.
The 63-km national Highway 12B is a key route linking northwestern localities with northern coastal provinces but has deteriorated.
Total investment has been put at over VND2.1 trillion ($88 million).
The upgrade would improve transportation capacity and socio-economic development in Hoa Binh, helping attract more investment to its industrial parks.
Meanwhile, upgrades to National Highway No. 15 would help improve connectivity between the northwestern region and Nghi Son Port in north-central Thanh Hoa province.
Investment is estimated at over VND1 trillion ($42 million).
