Nearly VND200 trillion to develop railway system

The Government has approved a VND200,000-billion project to develop Vietnam’s railway system in the 2012-2015 period.

The Vietnam Railway Corporation’s project aims to upgrade the current railways on Lao Cai-Hanoi-Haiphong route to enable trains to move at speeds of 80-120km per hour.

It will also build an express railway route from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, and two standard railways on the Lao Cai-Hanoi-Haiphong and Hanoi-Dong Dang routes.

As part of the project, urban railways in Hanoi and flyover railways in HCM City will also be upgraded. Hanoi’s current train station will be developed into a modern centre to connect all transport systems.
