On April 9, Chairman of the Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee, Bui Van Khang, chaired a meeting to review preparations for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Hanoi–Quang Ninh high-speed railway project.
According to the plan, the groundbreaking ceremony will take place on April 12 at the proposed site of Ha Long Station, located in Tuan Chau and Viet Hung wards. The Hanoi–Quang Ninh high-speed railway is invested by VinSpeed High-Speed Railway Investment and Development JSC under Vingroup. The railway span approximately 120 km, with a maximum design speed of 350 km/h, crossing through four localities: Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Hai Phong, and Quang Ninh. With a total investment of over VND 147 trillion (equivalent to more than USD 5.6 billion), it marks a significant milestone as the first high-speed railway project in northern Viet Nam enters the implementation phase. Once completed, the railway is expected to revolutionize regional connectivity by reducing travel time between Hanoi and Quang Ninh from more than two hours to just over 20 minutes.
