Phu Tho is located in the “development triangle” between the Northeast, the Red River Delta and the Northwest, it poses an important role as the gateway between the West – East – North regions. It lies about 80km north of Hanoi, and more than 60km from Noi Bai International Airport.

In addition to having important transport routes going through it, Phu Tho province also provides benefits from the waterway that starts in China, goes through a number of provinces in the West of North East Vietnam and Phu Tho province before reaching Hanoi, Hai Phong and surrounding areas.

Acting as “confluence of rivers” – Phu Tho province is the intersection of Red River, Da River and Lo River; it is the Western gateway of Hanoi Capital. Therefore, Phu Tho acts as a hub for transporting and exchanging goods connecting many localities in the Northern Delta region with some mountainous provinces in Northern Vietnam and two provinces of Guangxi, Yunnan and China..

2. Transportation network

Phu Tho is a major trade gateway in road, railway, waterway of Northern Vietnam; a freight link between the Northwest, Northeast and Red River Delta regions, contributing to the industrialization of the locality and the region.

Noi Bai – Lao Cai expressway (maximum speed 120 km/h) enables to shorten travel time compared to the old route which pass through 5 provinces of Hanoi, Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, Yen Bai and Lao Cai. The highway spans up to 60km, going through 5 major locations including: Viet Tri city, Phu Ninh district, Cam Khe district, Ha Hoa district and Phu Tho town. It is located on the Kunming – Hai Phong road corridor, bringing great potentials and socio-economic advantages.
National Route 2 (AH.14 Asia Road No. 14) travels from Yunnan (China) to Hanoi, passing through major destinations such as Ha Giang, Tuyen Quang, Phu Tho, and Noi Bai International Airport. Located on that road, there are National Route 5, National Route 1A, National Route 18, all pass through major trading points such as Hai Phong, Tan Thanh border gate (Lang Son) and Cai Lan seaport – Quang Ninh.

Viet Tri station and Phu Tho station is the 2 largest of the 8 stations in Phu Tho province, facilitating the transportation of passengers and bulk goods.

– Waterways: Viet Tri is the “confluence city” where the 3 major rivers in the North: the Red River, Lo River and Da River meet. The total length of river transport of the province is 235km, of which the Red River takes up to 130km, 63km belongs to Lo River, and 42km of the Da River; all running from China through the Western provinces of the Northeast Vietnam, converging in Phu Tho and then radiates to Hanoi, Hai Phong and other provinces. Viet Tri River Port is one of 3 major ports in the North with a traffic/cargo capacity of 1.0 million tons/year.

In addition to the available advantages, the leadership of Phu Tho province is also actively implementing key traffic projects such as Tuyen Quang – Phu Tho expressway; inter-regional road connecting Ho Chi Minh road with National Highway 70B, National Highway 32C of Phu Tho province to Yen Bai province, Vinh Phu bridge; building roads to connect national key traffic routes with trunk roads to industrial zones, industrial clusters, residential areas, concentrated commodity production areas.
