According to the ministry, the 26-kilometer section (the package A8) goes through four communes of Bao Thang District and one ward of Lao Cai City.
After the section was opened to traffic, the permitted speed is 80 kilometers maximum and 60 kilometers minimum.
The opening of this expressway section helps reduce the number of traffic accidents on national highways 4E and 70 between Lao Cai Province and Hanoi.
The whole Noi Bai-Lao Cai Expressway is set for completion in the second quarter. After completion, it will take vehicles over 3.5 hours to drive from Hanoi to Lao Cai Province instead of nearly eight hours if taking National Highway 70 like now.
To attract investments after the expressway is completed, Phu Tho, Yen Bai and Lao Cai provinces have made lists of investment projects in areas where the expressway goes through.
Late last year, the 27-kilometer of this expressway from Hanoi to Vinh Phuc Province was also opened to traffic.
Noi Bai-Lao Cai Expressway which is 264 kilometers long goes through Hanoi, Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, Yen Bai and Lao Cai provinces. The project has a total investment of US$1.25 billion.
