Each year, these provinces draw hundreds of thousands of visitors. However, tourists hesitate to return to the destinations due to the dangerous journey on mountainous roads to reach them.
Recognising the situation, leaders of the two localities have proposed many projects to build roads and modern expressways.
In Cao Bang, Dong Dang-Tra Linh expressway is a major transport project that the province has proposed, along with three provincial roads.

Under the plan, the province will build the Hanoi-Thai Nguyen-Bac Kan expressway with 4-6 lanes by 2030.
By 2050, the province aims to complete the construction of an expressway from Bac Kan city to Cao Bang city with four lanes in line with the planning to 2050 approved by the Prime Minister, along with a number of other projects.
Experts said that after the projects are completed, the roads will help strengthen connectivity of the localities and boost the localities’ socio-economic development as well as security and defence.
Le Van Dinh, Deputy Director of the Transport Department of Cao Bang said that northern mountainous localities hope that the Ministry of Transport and the Road Department consider, approve and support the implementation of projects that they have proposed, thus addressing transport bottlenecks for them./.
