As required by the Government, localities have completed site clearance of 70% of the land area before the commencement of construction. To date, all three localities have exceeded the target, with Hanoi and Bac Ninh reaching over 81%, and Hung Yen over 70%.

Localities have also approved projects for compensation, support, resettlement and construction of parallel roads (urban roads) through the area. Particularly, the expressway construction investment project under the public-private partnership model under the authority of Hanoi City is expected to be approved in September, with the selection of contractors and investors and construction starting in the first quarter of 2024.

Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Dinh Tien Dung, Head of the Steering Committee for the project implementation, said that the groundbreaking is just the first step to announce the results of the work in the past time, the important thing is to continue to carry out the tasks in the coming time. "I note that once the construction has started, it must be done immediately, and once it has been done, it must be done continuously. The investor must require the contractor to prepare enough machinery and materials to organize the construction," said Mr. Dung.

The 112 km long Belt 4 of the Capital Region passes through Hanoi, Hung Yen and Bac Ninh. Of which, the section through Hanoi is 58.2 km, the section through Hung Yen is over 19 km, the section through Bac Ninh is over 25 km and the connecting route is 9.7 km long. The starting point of the project is at the Hanoi - Lao Cai expressway junction, the end point is at the Noi Bai - Ha Long expressway junction. The total investment is over 85,000 billion VND. The project will start in 2022, with the basic goal of completion in 2026 and operation in 2027.

The project is implemented in 7 component projects, operating independently. Of which, Hanoi implements 3 component projects: Compensation, support, resettlement; construction of parallel roads (urban roads) in Hanoi and investment in the construction of the expressway system under the PPP method. Hung Yen and Bac Ninh provinces are each responsible for 2 component projects: Compensation, support, resettlement and construction of parallel roads (urban roads) in each province.
