The Government Office recently issued a document conveying the Prime Minister’s directive regarding the deployment of the road linking Gia Binh airport with the capital.

Specifically, the Prime Minister agreed with a proposal from the Ministry of Public Security to allow the Bac Ninh People’s Committee to carry out the section of the road project passing through Bac Ninh province as an urgent construction project.

The Prime Minister requested Bac Ninh authorities to take full responsibility for implementing the project in compliance with legal regulations and ensuring completion on schedule to serve the APEC 2027 summit.

During the implementation process, authorities must ensure strict management, cost efficiency, and improved investment effectiveness, while preventing waste, corruption, group interests, project delays, or profiteering through illegal bidding arrangements.

The Ministry of Construction has been tasked with guiding Bac Ninh authorities in carrying out the project in accordance with legal procedures and regulations.

The Prime Minister also noted that if issues arise requiring adjustments beyond existing legal provisions during the implementation process, ministries, agencies, and relevant local authorities must coordinate with Bac Ninh province to report to competent authorities for consideration and decision.

The investment project to build the road connecting Gia Binh Airport with Hanoi includes 7km of newly constructed road and 6.55km overlapping with existing expressways that will be expanded to 120m in width. The total land area required is approximately 289.87 hectares.

The project’s main components include a newly built 7km road section, 120m wide, starting from the connection point within Bac Ninh province and ending at the interchange linking the Hanoi - Lang Son Expressway and the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen Expressway/Ring Road 3.

Another section involves expanding 6.55km of the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen Expressway/Ring Road 3 to a width of 120m, connecting the first section to the interchange leading to Tu Lien Bridge. The route runs through the areas of Thuan An, Phu Dong, Thu Lam, and Dong Anh in Hanoi, and Tu Son and Phu Khe in Bac Ninh province.

The project will also build two direct ramps linking the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen Expressway/Ring Road 3 to the Tu Lien Bridge approach road. Each ramp will have three lanes, 14m in width, and a length of 2.5km, helping strengthen connectivity between Gia Binh Airport and Tu Lien Bridge.

The project will be implemented under the public - private partnership (PPP) model.

Once completed, the entire transport corridor connecting Gia Binh Airport with Hanoi will span about 41.316km with a total investment of VND83,000 billion (US$3.37 billion).

This route is expected to become a key transport artery at the northeastern gateway of the capital. It will provide the shortest and most modern connection from Gia Binh Airport to central Hanoi, contribute to improving the external transport network, reduce pressure on Noi Bai International Airport, and open up new economic and social development space for the capital’s gateway region.
