Transport system

Vinh Phuc province has a relatively developed transport network including road, rail and river. The transport system is appropriately distributed with high transport density. A number of invested transport routes have brought out significantly socio-economic benefits.

Road Transport

Road transport routes include: National Highway (Noi Bai – Lao Cai Expressway, National Highway No. 2, Express way 2B, 2C, 23); the provincial road; the main roads to industrial parks and road belt; district and commune roads.

The 245km-long Noi Bai – Lao Cai Expressway (the 40km-long section running through Vinh Phuc) linking with the highwway Kunming – Hakou (China) is one of components that contribute into the transport infrastructure development project of Kunming – Hanoi – Hai Phong Econimic Corridor.

Public bus routes meet demands of the residents travelling to all districts, cities, towns and industrial parks in the province.

Rail transport

The railway rout Hanoi – Lao Cai runs through five over nine administrative units (including Phuc Yen town, Binh Xuyen district, Vinh Yen city, Tam Duong and Vinh Tuong districts) with its length of 35km and five stations, of which Phuc Yen and Vinh Yen stations are two principal ones. This railway route running through Vinh Phuc connects Hanoi with the northern midland and mountainous provinces and China.

Water transport

Vinh Phuc has two main river routes at grade II managed by the central government namely Red River (41km) and Lo River (34km). Only means of transport with a capacity of at most 500 tons can move on these two rivers. The local river routes including Ca Lo River (27km), Pho Day River (32km) and Phan River (93km),… can only serve means of transport with a capacity of no more than 50 tons in the rainy season.

Currently, there are two ports including Vinh Thinh on Red River and Nhu Thuy on Lo River.

In addition to three types of transport above, Vinh Phuc is also close to Hanoi International Airport, about 25km.

Electricity supply network

Vinh Phuc is among the provinces located in a favorable region in electricity supply from the national grid. The electric transmission and distribution system has been planned and invested synchronously to ensure the favorable conditions and full supply for socio-economic development of the province.

Currently, the electricity supply network in the province consists of:

220kV, 110kA substations and 110kV lines run well and stably.

220KV substations: Ba Thien 220kV substation with capacity of 2x250MVA; Vinh Yen 220kV substation with capacity of (125+250)MVA.

110 KV substations include:

Region I (including Vinh Yen city, Phuc Yen town and Binh Xuyen district): Vinh Yen substation – 110/35/22kV-2x63MVA; Phuc Yen – 110/35/22kV-2x63MVA; Thien Ke – 110/22kV-63MVA; Ba Thien – 110/22kV-63MVA; Hoi Hop – 110/22kV-63MVA; Vinh Yen II – 110/35/22kV-63MVA.

Region II (including Vinh Tuong and Yen Lac districts): Vinh Tuong – 110/35/22kV-(40+63)MVA; Yen La – 110/35/22kV-40MVA.

Region III (Including Tam Duong, Tam Dao, Lap Thach and Song Lo districts): Lap Thach – 110/35/22kV-2x25MVA; Tam Duong – 110/35/22kV-63MVA; Song Lo – 110/22-40MVA.

Each industrial park has substation of 22kV/0.4kV. Businesses use electricity on demand. Electricity price is prescribed by the central State.

Water supply and drainage, wastewater and sewage treatment system

Vinh Phuc has enormous potential of water resources. Natural surface water and groundwater are abundant enough to provide for industrial, agricultural production and irrigation activities in the province.

Water supply:

The total capacity of water plants in the province is 310 m3/day. Water sources include groundwater and surface water from Lo River, Red River and Pho Day River.

Drainage:

– Stormwater:

Based on the topographical topography and current status of drainage works in the whole province, the entire boundary of Vinh Phuc province is divided into 3 large drainage areas: the drainage area of ​​Lo – Pho Day river towards the Lo river and Pho Day river. ; the drainage area of ​​Phan – Ca Lo river towards the Phan river and Ca Lo river; The wasteland area Vinh Tuong – Yen Lac is located outside the Red River dyke towards the Red River.

Vinh Phuc urban area belongs entirely to the drainage area of ​​Phan – Ca Lo river with an area of ​​​​about 732.80 km2, which is drained to Phan and Ca Lo rivers to Cau river at Phuc Loc Phuong.

– To drain off waste water:

Domestic wastewater is collected and treated in a concentrated form for urban areas and densely populated areas, for rural areas and far from urban areas to be collected and treated in a distributed manner.

Industrial parks have their own wastewater treatment plants, the quality of treated wastewater is up to Class A standards and then discharged to the receiving source.

Hospital wastewater is treated to remove harmful and polluting impurities before being discharged into the area’s common sewer system.

Sewage treatment system:

– For life waste:

Until now, the rate of household refuse processed is 65% of urban areas and 52% of countryside. The province goverment has implemented the construction of plants processing refuse into micro-fertilizers in Thanh Lang and Lap Thach towns, Dai Dong and Dong Cuong communes. Up to now, works have basically been completed and put into operation. The treatment capacity of each station is 10 tons of organic waste per month.

– For industrial and solid waste:

Businesses are in charge of treating industrial sewage. A large amount of sewage has been reused as materials and fuel for other industries, and a part has been treated simply by burning or burying.

Currently, the province is calling for investors to build a waste treatment plant.

Information and communications network

Postal service network has now been widely developed in the whole province, satisfying basic postal services.

The telecommunications network has developed drastically with modern technologies equivalent to other countries in the region. All communes have optical transmission. There are three inter-provincial fiber optic lines of VNPT, Viettel and EVN Telecom in the direction of Hanoi – Vinh Phuc – Viet Tri.

The province has a full range of mobile phone networks available in the country such as: Mobifone, Vinaphone, Viettel Mobile,… Broadcast telephone stations have been built in all districts. Internet and VoIP networks in Vinh Phuc use fiber optic lines with broadband and high speed.
