Dong Dang–Tra Linh Expressway

The Dong Dang–Tra Linh Expressway (Vietnamese: Đường cao tốc Đồng Đăng - Trà Lĩnh) is a planned expressway in Vietnam. It will connect Đồng Đăng on the Chinese border with Trà Lĩnh, a border town further north. It will run roughly parallel to National Road 4A. The road is envisioned as a part of an economic corridor from Hai Phong to Chongqing and Europe through Khorgos. The government also expects the expressway to bring Cao Bằng Province economically and culturally closer to the political center Hanoi.[1][2][3]
