The Hanoi - Bac Giang Expressway has a total length of more than 46km, was put into operation in April 2016 and started collecting tolls in May of the same year with a toll collection period of 21 years.

Hanoi - Bac Giang Expressway is currently operating beyond its capacity. |
The project was upgraded under the BOT form with a total investment of more than 4,000 billion VND, invested by a consortium including Van Phu Investment Joint Stock Company, Dong Son Infrastructure Investment Joint Stock Company, Vietnam Construction and Import-Export Corporation, and Ocean Group Joint Stock Company.
The route starts at Km 113+985 (National Highway 1), Dinh Tri ward, Bac Giang city and ends at Km 159+100 (location of the old Phu Dong toll station), Phuc Loi ward, Long Bien district, Hanoi.
The project is designed according to highway standards, with an operating speed of 100km/h. The section from Bac Giang to Nhu Nguyet Bridge has a scale of 4 lanes, with a roadbed width of 33m. The section from Nhu Nguyet Bridge to Km 159+258 also has a scale of 4 lanes, with a roadbed width of 34m.
According to the Road Network Planning for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050 approved by the Prime Minister, the Hanoi - Bac Giang - Lang Son expressway is 137km long, with a scale of 6 lanes. The Hanoi - Bac Giang section alone is 46km long, planned to be expanded to 8 expressway lanes.
After nearly 10 years of operation, the route has successfully connected Hanoi and the northeastern provinces, contributing significantly to economic and social development. However, according to the Hanoi - Bac Giang BOT Investment Joint Stock Company, the number of vehicles passing through the Hanoi - Bac Giang Expressway toll station is currently about 53,500/day and night. Meanwhile, according to the financial plan in the BOT contract, the full load capacity of the route in 2022 will be only over 46,000/day and night. Notably, the traffic volume has continued to increase steadily at a rate of about 11% per year in the past three years.
The increase in vehicles has caused the route to become overloaded, no longer ensuring operating speed, frequent congestion, potential risk of accidents and increased transportation costs, affecting the competitiveness of the region.
Faced with that reality, Hanoi - Bac Giang BOT Investment Joint Stock Company has just sent a document to the Ministry of Construction and the Vietnam Road Administration, proposing to expand the Hanoi - Bac Giang expressway to 10 lanes under the form of public-private partnership (PPP).
According to this unit, it is necessary to soon invest in expanding the Hanoi - Bac Giang expressway to 8 lanes as planned. However, based on the reality of rapidly increasing traffic, Hanoi - Bac Giang BOT Investment Joint Stock Company proposed the Ministry of Construction to allow the proposal to expand the route to 10 lanes under the PPP method to meet the increasing transportation demand, improve service quality, reduce traffic congestion and accidents.
