GMS Kunming-Haiphong Transport Corridor - Noi Bai-Lao Cai Highway Project in Viet Nam. The 244-kilometer Noi Bai-Lao Cai Highway starts at Noi Bai in a suburb of Hanoi and ends at Lao Cai, on the border with the People's Republic of China (PRC) in northwest Viet Nam. The Noi Bai-Lao Cai Highway is an integral section of the eastern link of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Northern Economic Corridor, connecting Kunming in Yunnan province of the PRC with Hanoi, and Hai Phong and Cai Lan ports in Viet Nam. The highway decreased the cost of travel, which encouraged economic activities in the project area and employment opportunities for the local population, and improved access to social services.
