The People's Committee of Bac Giang province has just sent an official dispatch to the Prime Minister regarding investment in the Ring Road 5 - Hanoi Capital Region section through Bac Giang.
Accordingly, the People's Committee of Bac Giang province requested the head of the Government to pay attention to allocating central capital to invest in the construction of Ring Road 5 - Hanoi Capital Region, section passing through Bac Giang and Thai Nguyen provinces in the period of 2026-2030 according to the progress in Resolution No. 96/NQCP dated August 1, 2022 of the Government and Decision No. 1454/QD-TTg dated September 1, 2021 of the Prime Minister on Road Network Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050.
The People's Committee of Bac Giang province proposed that the Ministry of Transport give its opinion on the planning scale of the Ring Road 5 - Hanoi Capital Region, from the Hanoi - Lang Son Expressway to the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen Expressway, and allow Bac Giang province to plan and invest in the construction of a 3km long Ring Road 5 section in Bac Giang province bordering Thai Nguyen province.
The Ministry of Transport was also asked to direct specialized agencies to determine in advance the route centerline and the clearance scope of the main route as a basis for Bac Giang province to plan and invest in the construction of service roads using local capital.
According to the Road Network Planning for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, Ring Road 5 - Hanoi Capital Region is planned with a scale of 6 lanes, with investment progress before 2030.
Currently, the Ministry of Transport is developing a Road Traffic Infrastructure Plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, to consult with agencies and localities according to regulations, including the planned Ring Road 5 - Hanoi Capital Region section Bac Giang - Thai Nguyen - Vinh Phuc with a scale of 4 lanes and a road width of 50m (calculated from the foot of the road embankment).
Previously, at the end of March 2023, the Standing Committees of the Provincial Party Committees of Bac Giang and Thai Nguyen provinces worked and signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the implementation of coordination and development linkage measures between Bac Giang and Thai Nguyen provinces in the period of 2023-2025 and the following years, in which Bac Giang province agreed to invest in a road in Bac Giang province to connect with the Ring Road 5 that Thai Nguyen province is investing in and constructing (from Phu Binh district, Thai Nguyen province to Bac Giang province). During the period when the Ring Road 5 - Hanoi Capital region has not been invested in, Bac Giang province plans to plan and prepare to invest in a Ring Road 5 feeder road in Tan Yen district, Bac Giang province from local capital to connect with the section built by Thai Nguyen province.
“However, due to the scale, route centerline, and clearance scope of the Ring Road 5 section Bac Giang - Thai Nguyen not being clearly defined (6 lanes or 4 lanes), the province is facing difficulties in determining the scope of planning and construction investment to avoid overlap as well as waste of land after construction investment,” said the leader of the Bac Giang Provincial People's Committee.
