With a total length of 158 km, the expressway will go through the northern provinces of Lang Son, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh and the capital city of Hanoi .
According to VEC, the expressway will facilitate transport from Hanoi to the northern provinces and help boost Vietnam-China trade exchange and create good conditions to develop the key economic zone in Vietnam’s northeast region./.
