Connecting China to Vietnam

A 244 kilometer road will be built connecting China and Vietnam in 2012.

There is currently a plan to link Hanoi, Vietnam with Kunming, China by road.  The road will cost 1.1 billion USD and will be 244 kilometers (151 miles) long.  The expected completion date of the construction is 2012.  To help pay off the loans for the road, there will be a toll enforced.   

 It is believed that the road will “stimulate development and help alleviate poverty in northwestern Vietnam, one of the country’s poorest regions.”  It should also help alleviate the traffic on the roads and hopefully reduce traffic fatalities in Vietnam.
