Section of Vietnam’s longest expressway prepares to open

Van Don – Mong Cai Expressway is receiving final touches to enter service next week and shorten the traveling time from the Chinese border to Hanoi and Ha Long Bay.

Running more than 80 km (50 miles) in northern Quang Ninh Province, Van Don – Mong Cai Expressway will connect to the 300-km Hanoi – Ha Long Expressway and 264-km Noi Bai – Lao Cai Expressway to become the longest such route in the country and is nearly 98% complete.

The nation's longest expressway, which will run through the northern port city of Hai Phong and Quang Ninh, home to world-renowned Ha Long Bay, will shorten the traveling time from Hanoi to Mong Cai border gate with China from five and a half hours to three hours, and from Ha Long to Mong Cai from three hours to one and a half.
