A series of trillion-dollar traffic projects are about to take shape in many provinces and cities.

Hanoi is about to extend the West Thang Long axis, Ninh Binh spends nearly 3,000 billion to build roads, Dong Nai is researching 2 bridges worth more than 1 billion USD connecting Ho Chi Minh City.

Many large-scale transportation infrastructure projects with total investment capital of tens of trillions of VND are being promoted and implemented by localities.

Ho Chi Minh City proposes a railway plan connecting Tan Son Nhat Airport and Long Thanh Airport.

At Ba Queo station, passengers will transfer to the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway line to reach Long Thanh airport. City leaders believe this option has the advantage of connecting with the city center via Ben Thanh station, a crucial transportation hub linking metro lines 1, 2, 3, and 4.
