The intersection of NH No. 8A passing through Thanh Binh Thinh commune, Duc Tho district, Ha Tinh province, marks the starting point of the Bai Vot - Ham Nghi component project and connects to the Dien Chau - Bai Vot project.

To keep the project timely open to traffic with the Dien Chau - Bai Vot project (19-km long remaining sections) in June 2024, Vinaconex is urgently constructing various sections at the intersection of NH No. 8A at the same time.

Once completed, vehicles could travel from National Highway 1A through Hong Linh town to the intersection and then onward to the North via NH 8A.

According to the leader of the Thang Long Project Management Board (Ministry of Transport - Investor of the Bai Vot - Ham Nghi project), this is the first asphalted intersection on the expressway in Ha Tinh province.

These tasks are expected to be mostly completed by June 15.
