The area is traversed by many major transportation routes such as National Highway 1A and its bypass, To Huu Road to Phu Bai International Airport (under construction), Thuan Hoa Road connecting to Phu Vang, Provincial Road 10, and Provincial Road 18 connecting to Vinh Thanh... This provides favorable conditions for developing regional transportation connectivity, promoting investment attraction, expanding urban space, and developing service, trade, and logistics sectors, creating momentum for socio-economic growth in the coming period.
