The logistic, container lot and warehouse area, a core function of the project, will be attached to the railway and main traffic road connecting to the National highway No 37, provincial road No 295, provincial road No 298 and belt road No 4 to ensure smooth transportation of goods of the international multimodal rail station.
The ICD urban area will be located in the northeast, close to the National Highway No 37 with sufficient social infrastructure system such as park, public facilities, schools and sports playgrounds meeting residential demand.
The inland depot and logistic service area will be divided into different functional zones including the administrative zone, trade and service zone, inland depot zone, logistic zone, green tree campus, parking lot and traffic roads.
This is also the main functional division of the logistic area serving storage, transportation and distribution of goods in the region.
