Tuyen Quang - Phu Tho Expressway was officially opened to traffic at the end of 2023, with a length of 40km connecting with Hanoi - Lao Cai Expressway. This expressway has contributed to shortening 1/3 of the travel time from Tuyen Quang administrative center to Hanoi capital (from 3 hours to 2 hours).

According to the operator, traffic on the route is about 7,000 vehicles per day, increasing on weekends and holidays; at the same time, traffic on National Highway 2 is reduced, improving safety for vehicles.

After the success of the first expressway, Tuyen Quang province continues to deploy the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway with a length of more than 100km, a total investment of nearly 10,000 billion VND with the orientation of connecting to Thanh Thuy International Border Gate and shortening travel time to mountainous localities.

Currently, this "backbone" expressway of Tuyen Quang province is being accelerated to be completed in 2025 according to the direction of the Government. With the route running along the area, Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway is determined to help expand and create new development spaces.

In addition, thousands of billions of VND have also been invested by Tuyen Quang province in developing intra-provincial traffic infrastructure such as the connecting road from Tuyen Quang - Phu Tho expressway to National Highway 37, National Highway 4C connecting the Dong Van Stone Plateau, upgrading the DT.178, DT.177 and QL.279 routes to conveniently connect with the difficult areas of Xin Man and Hoang Su Phi.

In the areas of Ha Giang (old), inter-district, commune, village and intra-field roads have achieved a high rate of hardening with 1,438 km. Of which, 85% of border villages have roads meeting new rural criteria with efforts to connect traffic in the border areas of the Fatherland, helping to eliminate barriers, expand trade and develop production in border areas.

Meanwhile, in most communes of Tuyen Quang province (old), 85% of inter-commune roads and 70% of inter-village roads have been concreted. The program "Eliminate temporary bridges and people's bridges" has helped thousands of households in the highlands escape isolation, contributing significantly to speeding up the progress of building sustainable new rural areas.

The synchronous investment in transport infrastructure has created favorable conditions for tourism development, helping tourism become an important economic sector of Tuyen Quang. Investment in transport infrastructure has also contributed significantly to connecting remote areas, sustainably reducing poverty in the mountainous province of Tuyen Quang.

Informing reporters, Mr. Luu Viet Anh - Deputy Director of the Department of Construction of Tuyen Quang province - said that with the goal of "going ahead to pave the way", the traffic system of Tuyen Quang will continue to be invested and completed in the coming period.

"The Department of Construction is coordinating to advise on the implementation of phase 2 of the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway project, including opening a new section from Tan Quang - Thanh Thuy International Border Gate. At the same time, renovating national highways, provincial roads and rural traffic systems to create a 4-season traffic network, convenient for socio-economic development," said Mr. Luu Viet Anh.

After the merger, Tuyen Quang has an area of ​​nearly 14,000 km2, a population of more than 2 million people, ranking 7th in the country. The terrain stretches from midlands to highlands, with borders with Yunnan and Guangxi provinces (China). Therefore, developing and perfecting transport infrastructure is one of the important tasks.

According to Secretary of Tuyen Quang Provincial Party Committee Hau A Lenh, developing the infrastructure system, especially the traffic system, is identified as the key content in the breakthrough stages.

"The province is determined to complete the expressway system connecting Phu Tho - Tuyen Quang - Thanh Thuy border gate with a length of 165 km. This is a vital route ensuring inter-regional connectivity, smooth with the capital Hanoi and the northern mountainous provinces," Mr. Hau A Lenh emphasized.

Along with that, Tuyen Quang province continues to upgrade and expand national highways, provincial roads and cross-roads connecting economic centers, industrial parks and key tourist areas. Synchronously develop urban infrastructure, social infrastructure and digital infrastructure, creating a solid foundation for rapid and sustainable development.

In the coming term, Tuyen Quang province strives to become a fairly developed province in the midland and mountainous region of the North. The target is an average economic growth rate of 10%/year or more, the budget revenue by the end of the term will double the current level, and the average income per capita will increase from 65 million VND to 95 million VND/year.
