The boulevard is intersected by three main roads and divided into five main areas: a commercial area, a training center, a residential area, a green space, and a commercial and tourism area.

However, attention should be paid to the traffic arrangement at the intersection between Binh Minh road and the urban expansion section towards the sea; and a plan for connecting the new urban areas with the existing traditional residential areas should be developed...

Commenting on the planning, the Provincial Party Secretary suggested that for zone 1, the Vinh city center should be located at the beginning of the axis, in the gateway area, as this is the provincial capital; and that the planning for the headquarters of departments, finance, and banks should be moved to zone 2.

Regarding the fourth zone – a green buffer zone for recreation and sports – a rational distribution plan needs to be studied in order to develop an investment plan through socialized investment.
