By 2030, Vinh Phuc will basically complete important arterial roads such as North-South traffic axis, East-West traffic axis, Hanoi Ring Road 5, and five provincial belt roads. The province will also upgrade and expand existing provincial roads, build new ones according to the Provincial Planning and prioritize investment resources to build intersections to address traffic congestion in Vinh Yen city.

Based on focused planning and prioritized investment resources, many large-scale key traffic projects of great significance to the province’s socioeconomic development have been deployed and proposed for investment to build Capital regional connectivity in the province like Huong Canh-Yen Lac section on Ring Road 3; a road from the interchange of Noi Bai-Lao Cai Expressway (Van Quan commune) to the center of Song Lo district and the branch line to Song Lo I Industrial Park; a section from National Highway 2 in Vinh Yen City to Ring Road 3 on North-South traffic axis of Vinh Phuc urban area; Hanoi Ring Road 5 and the section along the foot of Tam Dao Mountain linking Ring Road 5 with National Highway 2B to Tay Thien, National Highway 2C and Tuyen Quang; and a section from Ring Road 4 to the left dike of the Red River on North-South traffic axis of Vinh Phuc urban area.

In particular, the railway overpass construction project on Nguyen Tat Thanh Street is a testament to Vinh Phuc's determination to solve urgent traffic problems. The VND488 billion special traffic project, started construction in late December 2022, aimed to address traffic congestion and ensure traffic safety at the intersection between Nguyen Tat Thanh Street in Vinh Yen city with Hanoi-Lao Cai Railway.
