Description
On January 12, 2017, China and Vietnam signed a document on technical assistance for planning of the Lao Cai-Hanoi-Hai Phong railway ("援越南老街至河内至海防铁路规划项目" inChinese). China provided a non-refundable aid package worth 10 million RMB to fund the feasibility study. Between 2015-2019, China Railway Fifth Survey and Design Institute Group had been conducting a survey of the route, delivering a blueprint of a design that is 391.59km long, with 38 stations. The construction is meant to update a pre-existing railway, which was built in French-colonial times. The study has been completed.
