Quang Ninh plans to have the first stop on the expressway in 2027
Quang Ninh - Instead of going into operation as planned in October 2025, it will not be until 2027 that Quang Ninh will have its first stop on the expressway axis.
According to Mr. Bui Hong Minh - Deputy Director of the Department of Construction of Quang Ninh province - the station stopping at Km 20+062.80, Ha Long - Van Don expressway, in Thong Nhat commune, Quang Ninh province, is behind schedule partly due to the need to adjust the planning after the arrangement and merger of administrative units, departments and branches.
The project has recently started construction but it will not be completed and put into operation until 2027. That means people and tourists on the road will have to wait at least 2 more years. This is the first of three stations planned to be built on the Hai Phong - Ha Long - Van Don - Mong Cai expressway, about 176km long.
When Quang Ninh inaugurated and put into use the third expressway - Van Don - Mong Cai expressway - on September 1, 2022, making the province the locality with the longest expressway axis in the country, the demand for stopping stations for people and tourists increased, because on the expressway axis about 176km long from Bach Dang bridge (adjacent to Hai Phong with Quang Ninh) to Mong Cai, there was no one stop.
Many tourists and residents are upset because they are running a very long distance but have no place to go to the toilet.
To serve tourists and people, in April 2023, a unit sponsored the construction of a temporary public toilet in Mui Chua area, the old Tien Yen district.
Previously, after many years, through many processes and procedures, in early 2024, a private investor in Hai Phong won the bid to build a stop at Km 20+062.80, on the Ha Long - Van Don expressway, in Thong Nhat commune, Quang Ninh province.
The total area of this stop is 65,678.37m2, of which the construction area is 7,205.25m2, with a scale of 2 floors, with a total floor area of 10,000m2.
This is commercial service land, leased in the form of annual payment, for a term of 50 years, calculated from the date of the decision to recognize the auction results of the above land use rights. The winning bid price is more than 2.1 billion VND/year. The starting price is 1,109,241,991 VND/year.
According to the original plan, this first stop station, with a total construction investment of about 146 billion VND, will be put into operation from October 2025.
