(HBO) – Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Ngoc Dong recently signed Decision No.1708/QD-BGTVT, approving a project to repair and upgrade a bypass of National Road No.6 in Hoa Binh city of the province of the same name.
A route linking National Road
No.6 with Chi Lang road contributes to urban and services development in Hoa
Binh city.
The starting point of the
project is at Km73+500 of National Road No.6, which is linked with a project to
connect Hoa Binh province’s traffic and irrigational works with national
traffic infrastructure. Its ending point is at Km78+300 of National Road No.6,
which intersects with An Duong Vuong road in Thai Binh ward of Hoa Binh city.
The project spans 4.8 km in
length, excluding constructions in the previous Vietnam Road Asset Management
Project (VRAMP). It will be built based on the level-3 delta road standard with
four lanes, 20.5m in width and a designed speed of 80km per hour.
The project will run along with
National Road No.6, ensuring technical requirements. It is to be carried out
with an investment of more than 516 billion VND (22.67 million USD) sourced
from the State budget in the mid-term public investment plan for the 2021-25,
and projected to be completed by 2024.
The project managing board has
been assigned to work with relevant agencies to submit the project for the
Transport Ministry's approval. It must agree with the locality in terms of cost
reduction and land clearance in line with the standard TCVN4054-2005.
The project will contribute to
completing National Road No.6 in keeping with the planning and forming a ring
road outside Hoa Binh city, thus promoting urban space development, connection
between Hoa Binh province and Hanoi capital, and local socio-economic growth.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.

A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
