To ensure safe operation of the Noi Bai - Lao Cai expressway, VEC pays special attention to timely repair and restoration of degraded and damaged items.

Currently, VEC has completed the signing of contractor selection and mobilized the implementation of bid packages to repair damaged road surfaces and traffic safety systems along the entire route.

Contractors are urgently mobilizing personnel, machinery, and equipment to simultaneously carry out repairs by the end of February 2025.

Specifically, there are 2 bid packages for periodic repair of damaged road surfaces and major traffic safety systems including: section Km 0+00 - Km 123+00 and section Km 123+00 - Km 244+155.

VEC is also implementing investment procedures to overhaul the Noi Bai - Yen Bai section (Km0-Km 123+080).

In order to meet the transportation demand and promote operational efficiency, VEC has submitted to the competent authority a plan to expand the Yen Bai - Lao Cai section with a total length of more than 121km (Km 123+090 - Km 244+155), with a scale of investment of 4 complete lanes. The total investment is more than 7,600 billion VND, of which VEC mobilizes more than 4,600 billion VND and the State budget capital is more than 3,000 billion VND.
