The Ha Giang - Tuyen Quang Expressway was started on the afternoon of May 28 with a total investment of VND10,000 billion in phase one, with a scale of two lanes, expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
The 105 km long highway has two lanes but the land clearance is for four lanes; using public investment capital from the socio-economic recovery and development program.
The project is expected to create an economic development corridor from Hanoi along the Noi Bai - Lao Cai and Tuyen Quang - Phu Tho expressways to Ha Giang, meeting the needs of travel, freight transport and resolving traffic congestion between Ha Giang and Tuyen Quang.
In the coming years, the highway will be upgraded to four lanes and investment will be made in the connecting section to Thanh Thuy international border gate.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh praised hundreds of households in the project area who have given up their land and moved to new places. The two provinces of Ha Giang and Tuyen Quang need to ensure that people who give up their land have new places to live with jobs equal to and better than their previous places.

The Government leader reminded localities to ensure the source of materials according to the principle of directly delivering the quarry to the contractor, without going through private intermediaries to avoid hoarding, price hikes, and negativity. "Resolutely complete the project on schedule, no later than the end of 2025, without corruption," the Prime Minister said, asking the contractor to ensure progress, quality, aesthetics, savings, and fast construction.
On the same morning, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh visited Vi Xuyen national martyrs cemetery.
Construction of the cemetery began in 1990, then expanded to more than 10 hectares, and is the resting place of more than 1,800 martyrs who died in the fight against the Chinese army to protect the northern border since 1979. At the Vi Xuyen front alone, more than 4,000 officers and soldiers died; more than 9,000 people were injured; thousands of remains have not been collected.
