BAC GIANG — The Lang Giang District People’s Council has approved an additional 27 billion VND (about 1.17 million USD) for the 2025 public investment plan, earmarked for upgrading the Huong Son–Quang Thinh district road linking National Highway 37 to Kep Station.

Currently, the road to Kep Station is just 4 meters wide, making traffic challenging. Kep has been upgraded to an international rail terminal and improving the access road is expected to boost station operations, facilitate trade and drive economic growth.
“The resolution allows us to move forward with project planning and contractor selection,” said Tran Cong Tuong, director of the district Project Management Board.
The 1.6-kilometer stretch will be expanded to 5.5–6 meters, paved with asphalt concrete, and feature 0.75-meter reinforced shoulders on both sides.
Vietnam and China have signed seven important cooperation documents in the railway and road sectors, including two intergovernmental treaties, two official development assistance (ODA) agreements between the two governments, and three ministerial-level accords.
Vietnam's railway sector is making efforts to enhance passenger service quality by introducing premium, luxury train tours that will operate regularly throughout 2025.
The Reunification Train will consist of two services: SE1 departing from Hanoi Station and SE4 departing from Saigon Station on the evening of April 29. The two trains will meet at Da Nang Station at exactly 12 noon on April 30.
