According to the Ministry of Construction , in 2025, despite unusual weather patterns, numerous storms and tropical depressions causing heavy rain and flooding in many areas, resulting in significant loss of life and property, ministries, agencies, localities, project management boards, contractors, consultants, officials, workers, and laborers worked enthusiastically and diligently, overcoming difficulties and making sacrifices, prioritizing quality and progress above all else.

To achieve the goal of completing 3,000 km of expressways by 2025, it is projected that by the end of 2025, the whole country will have completed more than 3,800 km, including over 3,300 km of main expressway routes and 458 km of access roads.

As planned, on December 19, 2025, more than 3,500 km of expressway with nearly 3,200 km of main route and 325 km of access road will be completed. At the same time, 1,700 km of coastal road will be completed. In particular, the Long Thanh International Airport Project will also complete component projects to deploy technical flights.
