Viet Nam : GMS: Kunming-Haiphong Transport Corridor
The purpose of the TA is to assist the Government to strengthen regional infrastructure links within GMS region and prepare a project to upgrade Kunming-Haiphong Transport Corridor Project. The project will strenghten regional infrastructure network and improve domestic transportation system connecting Hanoi with the northern provinces.
The TA will be implemented in two phases: the first phase will examine pre-feasibility and viability of the road investment versus improvements of railways to select the optimum transport mode for this corridor. Phase 1 was previously covered under AOTA: VIE 36626-01 Financing Options for Kunming-Haiphong Transport Corridor Project. Depending on the outcome of this phase, a detailed feasibility report will be prepared to undertake an investment decision on the project for either the road improvement or railway improvement.
