With the goal of perfecting connecting traffic infrastructure, creating favorable conditions for people and pilgrims to come to Yen Tu Monuments Area and effectively exploit the potential of spiritual tourism, Quang Ninh province has to decide to invest, renovate and upgrade the road connecting National Highway 18 to the Yen Tu relic.

The designed road meets grade III road standards; design speed of 60km/ h; 7km in length, from Doc Do junction, Phuong Dong ward to Nam Mau intersection, Thuong Yen Cong commune (Uong Bi city)

The route is 3.1 km long, the starting point at Doc Do intersection with Highway 18, the end point at Km3 + 100 intersects with the Yen Tu road expansion project phase 1 previously constructed by the Management Board. Uong Bi city construction investment project implemented with construction units.

Previously, the small road had only 2 lanes with some steep slopes, many sharp turns, and often congested during the festival season. To ensure traffic safety, the investor and the construction unit lowered the height of the road surface and adjusted some curves.

The road to Yen Tu special national relic area deployed by the Uong Bi City Construction Investment Project Management Board and construction units has come into operation.

According to a reporter doing the interview, Mr. Nguyen Van Hung, Director of Uong Bi City Construction Investment Project Management Board, said the project started on July 1 and constructed at a speed of nearly 60 days and nights to completed before the Quang Ninh Provincial Party Congress. The city cleared the ground 203 households around for the construction of the road expansion.

According to Mr. Hung, the route is constructed in very difficult weather conditions, often with heavy rain for many days. Contractors made progress charts and signed commitments to mobilize machines and manpower for construction day and night.

Mr. Tran Duy Dong, Doc Do 1 area, Phuong Dong ward, said his family and surrounding people are benefiting from the new route. Many families lend land to the construction unit to gather materials for project construction.

The two sides of the route are 315 linden trees with a diameter of 25-30 cm and a height of 5-7 m to create shade. The Bodhi tree is also associated with the world Buddhist history and the religious life of Emperor Tran Nhan Tong in Yen Tu.

Mr. Hung added that all electric poles are designed with separate patterns associated with Buddhism.

Part of the sidewalk on both sides is 5 m wide, paved with stone and arranged a private path for the disabled. The road is synchronized underground lighting system.

At present, the project has basically completed the main items, workers are urgently refurbishing some pavement items, planting trees and embellishing around the two sides of the road.

Along the way, people and visitors can fully admire the diverse natural landscape of Yen Tu national forest, Suoi Bath pagoda, and Cam Thuc pagoda hidden deep in the green forests.

After the phase 2 project is synchronously connected with the phase 1 project, the total length of the expanded Yen Tu route is raised to 7 km.

The route to the Yen Tu relic area is one of 10 works with a signboard welcoming the 15th Quang Ninh Provincial Party Congress.
