The Ministry of Transport has just sent a document responding to Hai Phong voters regarding maritime projects and works connecting seaports, waterways, and promoting seaport capacity.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Transport received a petition from voters of Hai Phong city to soon approve the policy for upstream ports of Nam Dinh Vu port to dredge the remaining channel section to -8.5m to ensure uniform depth for the channel, creating equality for ports in the region.
The Ministry of Transport affirmed that it will closely coordinate with the Hai Phong City People's Committee in the process of implementing the investment in the sea-crossing bridge project (Illustrative photo).
At the same time, continue to improve the road traffic system connecting internal ports in the region, add sea bridges and routes behind Hai Phong International Gateway Port, upgrade inland waterways to ensure the operation of all sizes of ships.
Regarding the upgrading of the maritime channel, to improve the efficiency of investment in synchronous exploitation of maritime infrastructure in the area, the Ministry of Transport has approved the policy of allowing port enterprises in the Nam Dinh Vu area to invest in upgrading the Hai Phong maritime channel section to a bottom elevation of -8.5 m.
Regarding the completion of the road traffic system connecting internal ports in the region and adding cross-sea bridges, according to the Ministry of Transport, the current capital in the 2021-2025 medium-term public investment plan has been allocated to ongoing projects, so it is impossible to balance investment in roads and Tan Vu - Lach Huyen 2 bridge.
In the 2026-2030 period, the Ministry of Transport will focus resources on building strategic projects according to the 10-year socio-economic development strategy such as the target of 5,000km of expressway, construction of the North-South high-speed railway, Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway...
At the same time, implementing the Road Law (effective from January 1, 2025), the Ministry of Transport is submitting to the Government for promulgation of a guiding Decree, which will transfer national highways to localities for management, investment, construction and exploitation.
Therefore, in the coming time, the Ministry of Transport requests the National Assembly Delegation of Hai Phong City to propose that the People's Committee of Hai Phong City proactively research and mobilize resources to soon invest in the approach road and Tan Vu - Lach Huyen 2 bridge. The Ministry of Transport will closely coordinate in the process of implementing the project investment.
Regarding the route after Hai Phong International Gateway Port, implementing the direction of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, the Ministry of Transport has decided to adjust the sections of the route after Lach Huyen Port (Km 15+629.94 - Km 15+883.86 and Km 0- Km0+750) into local roads and hand them over to Hai Phong City People's Committee for management, operation and maintenance according to regulations.
In October 2024, the Ministry of Transport issued a document requesting the People's Committee of Hai Phong City to pay attention to balancing and prioritizing the city's capital to accelerate investment implementation and soon put into operation the route after the ports in Lach Huyen wharf area in sync with the investment progress of the ports, contributing to maximizing the efficiency of investment in seaport exploitation in the area.
Up to now, Hai Phong City People's Committee has approved the investment policy for the project to build a road after Lach Huyen wharf area and is directing agencies to urgently implement the next procedures of the project.
In upgrading inland waterway routes to ensure the operation of all sizes of ships, in the Inland Waterway Infrastructure Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050 approved by the Prime Minister, 7 central waterway routes are planned to connect Hai Phong city and neighboring localities.
The Ministry of Transport emphasized that it has always paid attention to and invested in projects to upgrade major waterways to improve transport capacity, serve the circulation of large volumes of goods, reduce congestion, and reduce the load on the road system. Thereby, contributing to poverty reduction, regional and inter-regional economic development.
Specifically, in the 2011-2020 period, priority was given to allocating 1,200 billion to invest in the 250km-long waterway route No. 1 Quang Ninh - Hai Phong - Viet Tri. The Ministry of Transport has also organized the preparation of a Feasibility Study Report for the investment project to upgrade the waterway route Quang Ninh - Hai Phong - Ninh Binh (via the Luoc River) with a total investment of about 4,600 billion VND, expected to use WB loan capital to implement the investment when resources are arranged.
