The Ministry of Transport and eight localities have been allocated an additional 13,800 billion VND to implement the Khanh Hoa - Buon Ma Thuot, Bien Hoa - Vung Tau, and Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressways.
The resolution of the regular government meeting on December 15th assigned the Ministry of Finance to develop a plan for allocating central government budget to the Ministry of Transport and eight localities to implement the three key projects mentioned above, and submit it to the Prime Minister before December 20th.
The Khanh Hoa - Buon Ma Thuot expressway has a total investment of nearly 22,000 billion VND, is 117.5 km long, starts from the intersection of National Highway 26B and National Highway 1 (Ninh Hoa town, Khanh Hoa province), and ends at the intersection with Ho Chi Minh Highway, east of Buon Ma Thuot city (Dak Lak province).
The project includes 4 lanes, 17 meters wide, and is expected to be operational in 2027. Upon completion, this expressway will create a horizontal axis linking the Central Highlands with the South Central coastal region and connect with the North-South expressway, Ho Chi Minh Highway, National Highway 1, and the coastal road...
The Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway, 54 km long with 4-6 lanes and a total investment of 17,800 billion VND, was started in June. However, most of the 34 km section through Dong Nai (289 hectares affecting 3,400 households) has not yet been cleared, while Ba Ria - Vung Tau has handed over nearly 96%.
The Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway, over 188 km long, passes through four provinces in the Mekong Delta, with a total investment of nearly 44,700 billion VND, and construction has also commenced. The route starts at the connection with National Highway 91 in Chau Doc City, An Giang province; and ends at Tran De port, Soc Trang province. Specifically, the section through An Giang is nearly 57 km long, Can Tho nearly 38 km, Hau Giang about 37 km, and 56 km through Soc Trang.
Phase one of the project includes 4 lanes, 17 meters wide, with a speed limit of 80 km/h. Upon completion, the road will be widened to over 32 meters with 6 lanes. The entire route is expected to be completed in 2027, forming a vital horizontal transportation artery in the Mekong Delta region.

In the resolution, the Government also requested the Ministry of Transport to expedite the progress of key projects. The My Thuan 2 Bridge, the My Thuan - Can Tho route, and the Tuyen Quang - Phu Tho route need to be inaugurated and put into operation in December.
The Dien Chau - Bai Vot and Cam Lam - Vinh Hao projects are striving for completion in 2024.
The Ministry of Transport, in coordination with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and local authorities, is ensuring sufficient materials for key projects; conclusions on using sea sand as leveling material will be finalized in December. At the same time, the Ministry is urgently completing the North-South high-speed railway project, submitting it to the Standing Committee of the Government before January 31, 2024, for submission to the Politburo for consideration and decision in March of the following year.
Local authorities are focusing on constructing transportation routes, especially expressways passing through their areas.
