Da Nang People’s Committee Chairman Le Trung Chinh has already approved investment policy decision to the construction of a coastal route connecting the soon-to-be-constructed Lien Chieu Port with a bypass route to south of the Hai Van Tunnel.

The coastal route connecting to the soon-to-be-constructed Lien Chieu Port has a length of nearly 3km, a width of 30m and 6 lanes, allowing vehicles to run at a speed of 60km per hour.

The starting point of the project connects with the route outside the Lien Chieu Port, whilst the end point intersects with the Hai Van - Tuy Loan bypass to the south.

The would-be route has a length of nearly 3km, a width of 30m and 6 lanes, allowing vehicles to run at a speed of 60km per hour.

The construction cost of the route is expected to be VND1,203 billion. More than VND700 billion of the figure will be funded by the city's budget capital in the medium-term public investment plan, whilst the rest will come from the national budget.

The project will feature two intersections with different levels by overpass, including the first intersection with the old National Highway 1A and the existing North-South railway, and the intersection at the end of the route with the bypass south of the Hai Van Tunnel.

Additionally, there will be a bridge over the canal on the main route according to the planning, a road tunnel to Suoi Luong and another one at the intersection with the internal connection road according to the adjusted planning of the Lien Chieu Industrial Park, an expanded Nguyen Van Cu street, and a new 6-lane Lien Chieu Bridge.

The purpose of the project is to provide strategic access to the operation and construction of the soon-to-be-developed Lien Chieu Port, give fast and safe connection to the national transport system and urban transport in the area, and reduce the negative impacts on traffic safety and landscape environment in the port’s construction area.

At the same time, the project will help promote the formation and development of subdivisions at the Lien Chieu Port, attract investment in the city, promote the local economic growth, strengthen investment efficiency of projects, connect the Lien Chieu Port to the Lien Chieu Industrial Park, Da Nang Hi-Tech Park, Da Nang Concentrated Information Technology Park, and other local industrial parks, and meet future transportation needs, especially the flow of goods from Lien Chieu Port to all directions and vice versa.

Developed by the Da Nang Management Board of Priority Infrastructure Investment Projects, the project will be carried out from 2022-2025.
