The upgraded 429A road will improve traffic flow from National Highway 21B to the left bank of Day River and the Ho Chi Minh National Highway, supporting economic growth in Thanh Oai and neighboring Ung Hoa District.
The Kim Bai Industrial Cluster, which covers 48.8 hectares and has an investment of VND1 trillion (US$41 million), aims to attract high-tech and clean production enterprises and relocate enterprises from artisan villages to reduce environmental pollution.
Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Chairman of the Ha Noi People's Committee Nguyen Manh Quyen tasked the city departments and Thanh Oai District to facilitate the construction of the industrial cluster.
He requested the investor, Telin Group, to focus all resources on the timely construction of technical infrastructure as approved.
Thanh Oai District Chairman Bui Van Sang said the Kim Bai Industrial Cluster will attract about 100 businesses and create 3,000 to 4,000 jobs once operational.
He added that besides Kim Bai Industrial Cluster, the district will have two other industrial zones covering 750 hectares, all equipped with logistics facilities. "Thanh Oai aims to become a vibrant commercial hub in southern Ha Noi," he stressed.
To ensure the construction deadline, Sang urged investors to focus on quality and adhere to legal regulations.
