According to the assessment of the People's Committee of Hai Phong City, the Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway has a great impact on the socio-economic development of the city in particular and brings about socio-economic efficiency in general, contributing to the gradual development of modern and synchronous railway transport, thereby creating a spillover effect, promoting rapid and sustainable socio-economic development.
Along with the strong investment in developing Lach Huyen international gateway port, this railway project will meet the demand for passenger and cargo transportation on the East-West corridor, being a gateway for trade with the world through major seaports in the Hai Phong area as well as connecting international railway traffic at Lao Cai border gate.
