In order to continue to improve infrastructure and facilitate investment and development activities, the Management Board of the Economic Zone and Industrial Parks is proposing to the Central Government and Thanh Hoa province to study and invest in a number of additional connecting routes such as: East-West route 4 to Nghi Son Port connecting Tan Truong industrial beltway with an investment value of VND 6,603 billion; East-West route 2 and East-West route, the section connecting North-South route 1B with North-South route 4.
Both of these routes play a particularly important role; in which, the East-West route 4 to Nghi Son port connecting Tan Truong industrial belt road is planned as a road traffic route connecting the railway, expressway and industrial zones in the southwest of the Nghi Son Economic Zone with National Highway 1A and Nghi Son Seaport. Therefore, the investment to complete the planning of the East-West route 4 connecting Tan Truong industrial belt road will gradually complete the synchronous traffic network according to the planning, creating favorable conditions for attracting investment in industrial zones in the southwest of the Nghi Son Economic Zone, increasing the ability to transport goods to National Highway 1A and Nghi Son Seaport. Along with that, the investment to complete the East-West route 2 and East-West route projects, the section connecting North-South route 1B with North-South route 4 is determined to contribute to completing the infrastructure connecting to the seaport area in the northern Nghi Son area. Therefore, this project is very necessary to meet the demand for freight transport and develop electricity projects, super-sized and super-heavy steel structure manufacturing industry, logistics services, and industrial park infrastructure.
