closed

The objective of the Haiphong Urban Transport Development Project for Vietnam is to improve urban accessibility and strengthen capacity for urban transport management and planning in Haiphong. There are three components to the project, the first component being urban main road development. This component will increase urban accessibility through construction of a new east-west link (connected to main north-south links) for cross town traffic within Haiphong and longer distance freight to and from Haiphong's port system. The second component is the transport improvement. This component supports transformation of the public transportation services along the Tam Bac-Kien an urban corridor, including measures to strengthen institutional development for public transport management, piloting of transformative approaches to fleet management, acquisition of new buses, and upgrading of infrastructure and facilities. Finally, the third component is the capacity-building.
