(HBO) – Preparation is underway to complete procedures for the commence of a road project that connects Mong Hoa (Hoa Binh City) with the centre of Kim Boi district, part of the project linking Hoa Binh, Hanoi and Son La highway (Hoa Binh - Moc Chau). The road plays an important role in the socio-economic development of the province in general, contributing to exploiting the potential and advantages of Kim Boi district in particular.

An inter-commune road at Vinh Tien Commune, Kim Boi
district. A project that connects Hoa Binh city with Kim Boi district will
facilitate the district’s socio-economic development.
Kim Boi district has long been famous for its hot mineral water with the best
quality in the world. There are many festivals held in the district such as le
mung com moi (new rice celebration), a cultural practice of local ethnic
minority people to celebrate bumper crops that attract tourists to Kim Boi.
However, Kim Boi has not yet fully exploited its potential due to unfavourable
transportation system.
To meet the demand for future development of the district and the province, the
provincial authority has approved a project that connects Hoa Binh with Hanoi
and Son La Expressway with a total length of about 39 km.
The project is one of the breakthrough solutions which aimed at accelerating
the construction of projects with far-reaching effects to promote investment,
attract labourers and increase income for people as well as local budget,
especially for the two poorest districts but with great potential for tourism
developments in the province namely Kim Boi and Da Bac.
Currently, the Management Board is preparing a feasibility study report and an
environmental impact assessment report of the project. The topographic and traffic
surveys for the project have been completed.
The road project that links Hoa Binh city with Kim Boi district along with Hoa
Lac - Hoa Binh expressway expansion project are the two key projects of the
province in 2020 – 2025 period. They will meet the traffic demand between the
northwest region, Hoa Binh province with Hanoi and other localities in the
region.
During a recent inspection in Kim Boi district, Quach Tat Liem, Vice Chairman
of the Provincial People's Committee asked relevant departments and agencies to
carry out the project on schedule in accordance with their tasks and their
highest responsibility. They were requested to periodically report the
project’s progress so that obstacles to be removed promptly as well as settle
problems arising during its implementation.
