The northern coastal province of Quang Ninh is working on a cargo transport route connecting its Van Don airport with Can Tho airport in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho, said Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Nguyen Xuan Ky.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport has asked the city government to give priority in the next five years to six key transport projects worth 27.488 trillion VND (1.19 billion USD) in order to clear congestion on roads leading to ports, especially Cat Lai Port in District 2.
The Ministry of Transport should consider the possibility of cost overruns as it prepares to build a 654km section of the North-South expressway, NA deputies said at the ongoing fourth session of the 14th National Assembly in Hanoi on November 8.
Upgrading old buildings and relocating households living near canals are among the major projects that HCM City aims to carry out now and in the near future, according to city authorities.
