This is the investment and construction project of the My Thuan-Can Tho expressway, phase 1, and the addition of an expressway interchange and a local access road section passing through Vinh Long province.
To date, localities have issued land acquisition notices, are carrying out procedures to approve specific land prices, and are urgently implementing the next steps to promptly hand over the land to the investor and construction contractor.
We need to be even faster and bolder.

This ensures the progress and improves the quality of important national and key projects, contributing to the disbursement of public investment, creating jobs for people and businesses, promoting economic growth, creating new development spaces, new industrial zones, urban areas, and services for the country and its regions and localities, increasing the added value of land, reducing input costs, transportation costs, and travel time, enhancing the competitiveness of goods and businesses, and facilitating travel for people and businesses, especially during Tet (Lunar New Year).
The Prime Minister requested that, with even greater speed and boldness, relevant agencies should focus intensely, proactively, and actively lead, direct, supervise, inspect, and resolve difficulties and obstacles related to land, construction materials, etc., in the quickest, most timely, and most effective way possible. Relevant entities should strengthen mutual support and assistance in project implementation with a spirit of "national solidarity and brotherhood," for the common good.
