New expressway proposed to connect Hoa Binh and Son LaVietNamNet Bridge – The northern province of Son La People’s Committee has proposed the Government approve the Hoa Binh-Moc Chau Expressway project to better connect two northern provinces of Hoa Binh and Son La as well as Hanoi and northwestern provinces. The four-lane expressway is designed to start in Trung Minh Commune in Hoa Binh City and end in Phieng Luong Commune, Moc Chau District in Son La Province. The construction of the expressway will require land clearance over an area of about 870ha, including 503ha in Hoa Binh Province and 367ha in Son La Province. Once the Hoa Binh-Moc Chau expressway is opened, traveling time from Hanoi to Moc Chau will be reduced to two hours by coaches instead of over three hours as currently. The expressway will also make National Highway No 6 no longer the only road from Hanoi to Moc Chau, thus is expected to help boost development of Moc Chau National Tourism Area and Hoa Binh Lake Tourism Area.
