Voters in Thai Binh province recommended that the Ministry of Construction pay attention to researching investment and construction of the Nam Dinh - Thai Binh - Hai Phong railway connecting with the North - South high-speed railway to facilitate socio-economic development and in line with the Government's policy on developing the economic zone of Thai Binh province.

Investment roadmap after 2030

According to the Ministry of Construction, according to the Railway Network Planning for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, the Nam Dinh - Thai Binh - Hai Phong - Quang Ninh coastal railway line is about 101km long, with a gauge of 1,435mm; the investment roadmap is after 2030.

Currently, there are two modes of transport on this corridor: road and waterway. Of which, freight transport is mainly by road, inland waterway and coastal. The Nam Dinh - Thai Binh - Hai Phong - Quang Ninh expressway has been invested and can meet the demand for passenger transport until 2045.

On the other hand, according to the forecast of transport demand in the railway network planning, by 2050, the demand for railway transport for passengers will be about 1.5-3.5 million passengers/year and for goods about 1.5-2.5 million tons/year. Therefore, investment in the Nam Dinh - Thai Binh - Hai Phong - Quang Ninh coastal railway will be considered when the demand for transporting goods and passengers increases.

While the Nam Dinh - Thai Binh - Hai Phong - Quang Ninh railway line has not been invested in, the Government is resolutely directing investment in the expressway connecting Ninh Binh - Nam Dinh - Thai Binh - Hai Phong.

The Ministry of Construction requested Thai Binh province to direct relevant agencies to coordinate with investors and contractors to soon complete the expressway; focus on exploiting the potential of other transport systems, especially inland waterway transport combined with coastal shipping, as well as the road system.
