Quang Ninh begins construction of Ha Long - Cam Pha coastal road
The Northeastern province of Quang Ninh on August 22 started the construction of a coastal road connecting its Ha Long and Cam Pha cities.
The project, which has a total investment of over VND 1.36 trillion (USD 58.65 million) sourced from the local budget, is carried out between 2019 and 2020 as part of the provincial transport development plan through 2020 with a vision to 2030.
The road has a total length of 18.7km, including 10.2km passing through Cam Pha city.
It is designed to have four lanes for vehicles with a maximum speed of 60km per hour.
The road will help develop a chain of urban areas in the Eastern area of Quang Ninh province.
