The road connecting the Hanoi - Hai Phong Expressway with the Gie Bridge - Ninh Binh Expressway has been put into operation and used, contributing to boosting the socio-economic development of the province.

The Resolution No. 10-NQ/TU dated June 28, 2021 of the Provincial Party Executive Committee on the Transport Development Program of Hung Yen province for the period 2021-2025, with a vision to 2030, sets out the basic goal of completion according to the planning of key transport works that play a driving role in economic development, the works that increase connectivity; focusing on developing urban and rural transport to create a complete, interconnected and smooth transport network. With the attention of the Ministry of Transport, the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial People's Council, the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Transport has coordinated with relevant agencies to advise on investment and rapid development of transport infrastructure, especially key routes. In 2024, the province has focused on performing many important transport projects such as: the investment project to build the Ring Road No. 4 - Hanoi Capital Region; the Project to upgrade and expand the extended Hanoi - Hung Yen inter-provincial road, the section passing through the province; the Project to connect the provincial road No. 387 with Hanoi - Hai Phong Expressway (Km31 + 100); Tan Phuc - Vong Phan road project (the intersection with the provincial road No. 378)... These are important transport projects, with connectivity, creating corridors to form concentrated industrial production zones, urban areas; improving the capacity of goods circulation, creating conditions for socio-economic development in difficult areas of the province. At the same time, building a key transport system conveniently connecting with international border gates, ports, airports, attracting investment in Hung Yen, creating revenue for the state budget; in accordance with the Master Plan for Socio-Economic Development of the Northern Key Economic Region to 2020, with a vision to 2030.

One of the projects that has been awaited for many years to create more momentum for the province's socio-economic development is the road connecting the Hanoi - Hai Phong Expressway with the Gie Bridge - Ninh Binh Expressway. With a total investment of more than 4.4 trillion VND, the investment is divided into 2 phases: Phase 1 invests in a scale of 2 lanes, a 12m-wide roadbed, a 11m-wide road surface, completed and put into operation in 2019; Phase 2 upgrades and expands the road surface from 12m to 24m, using the 2021 - 2025 medium-term capital source of the Central Government, started in November 2021 with a total investment of 702 billion VND. Although the project was carried out during a difficult period due to the impact of the epidemic and economic recession, with the determination of the entire political system, the project has been completed. On July 7, 2024, the Provincial People's Committee held the inauguration ceremony of the road project connecting Hanoi - Hai Phong Expressway with Gie Bridge - Ninh Binh Expressway (phase 2) with the participation of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. This is a key project with great influence on the province, contributing to the implementation of three strategic breakthroughs, enhancing innovative thinking, the province's strategic vision in traffic development, regional connectivity, national connectivity, expanding new development space, land value added, opening up new urban, industrial and service areas, reducing logistics costs, increasing the competitiveness of goods, contributing to sustainable and long-term growth of the province and the region. The project was completed at the same time as the investment project to build a road along the road connecting the Hanoi - Hai Phong Expressway with the Gie Bridge - Ninh Binh Expressway, which was basically opened to traffic, creating trade between economic zones, promoting rapid construction, attracting investment in industrial parks and clusters, contributing to the economic development of the province.

In 2024, the provincial transport sector also has made its mark when it started the Tan Phuc - Vong Phan road project (intersecting with the provincial road No. 378). This is a key transport project of the province, with a total investment of nearly 3 trillion VND, with a total length of about 29.2km. The project is invested to complete the transport infrastructure of Hung Yen province in particular, and the region in general according to the approved planning; is a breakthrough in the development of transport infrastructure according to the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress. Up to now, the project has basically completed the site clearance of agricultural land and public land; is organizing the implementation of site clearance for residential land and cemetery land; has recovered land and handed over to the investor, reaching 164.72/175.6 hectares. In order for the project to be successfully implemented, the Provincial People's Committee directed the investor, the Department of Transport, to coordinate with the People's Committees of An Thi, Tien Lu, and Phu Cu districts to continue to focus on conducting the remaining volumes of site clearance work. For construction contractors, supervision consultants, and project management consultants, focus on mobilizing the most modern machinery and equipment, selecting the most experienced human resources to carry out the project; ensuring construction progress, completing and putting the project into operation before September 30, 2025.
