The Trung Luong-My Thuan Highway, an important route in the Mekong Delta, was inaugurated on April 27.

The Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang has made strong investment in expanding its transport system that connects with other regional localities in order to motivate the local economic development.

President Nguyen Xuan Phuc on January 19 attended a ceremony to open the main road of Trung Luong-My Thuan expressway, a key route linking the Mekong Delta with Ho Chi Minh City and localities in the southern key economic region.

The Mekong Delta is working with the Ministry of Transport to improve the local transport infrastructure and thus trade flows, the Can Tho Branch of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry has said.

Hoa Phat Steel said it shipped 62,700 tonnes of finished steel abroad in September, doubling the figure a year ago.

The Ministry of Transport and the People’s Committees of the Mekong Delta provinces of Vinh Long and Tien Giang held a ceremony on August 19 to commence the construction of the My Thuan 2 bridge with a total investment of over 5 trillion VND (215.6 million USD).

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc inspected progress on the construction of the Trung Luong - My Thuan Expressway in the Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang on July 31.

The acceleration of investment disbursement for transport infrastructure projects is extremely important as the economy has been heavily affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said at a meeting of the Government’s standing board in Hanoi on March 12.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc on March 8 made a field trip to the Trung Luong-My Thuan Expressway in Phu Nhuan commune, Cai Lay district, the Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang.

Construction started on February 27 on the My Thuan Bridge 2 to connect the Trung Luong-My Thuan and My Thuan-Can Tho expressways between Ho Chi Minh City and Can Tho, linking the two economic powerhouses of the southern region.

Can Tho has a lot of advantages for foreign businesses to invest in the Mekong Delta city, Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Le Quang Manh said while meeting with Motoyuki Nakamura, director general of Tri Viet company, on January 30.

Tet is a precious time of the year for family reunions, but dozens of construction workers on Trung Luong-My Thuan Expressway will be missing out this year.

Banks are advised to have meticulous consideration before lending BOT and BT infrastructure projects as outstanding loans for the projects are likely at risk of turning into non-performing ones.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has asked competent ministries and companies to accelerate construction of the Trung Luong – My Thuan Expressway project in the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang so that it can be inaugurated in 2021.

The Vietnamese Government always considers the Mekong Delta a strategic position in term of security, economy, and national defence, Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue said at a question and answer session of the National Assembly Standing Committee in Hanoi on August 15.

Minister of Transport Nguyen Van The was confronted with hot issues at the question-and-answer (Q&A) session of the ongoing 36th meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee in Hanoi on August 15.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has urged ministries, Tien Giang province, investors and bankers to work to ensure the progress and equality of the Trung Luong – My Thuan expressway – a key route for the development of the Mekong Delta while chairing a meeting of permanent Cabinet members in Hanoi on July 30.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has urged localities and competent agencies to accelerate the implementation of transport infrastructure projects, saying they are important to the socio-economic development.

Permanent Government members met in Hanoi on February 20 to discuss the acceleration of the Trung Luong-My Thuan highway construction.

Deputy PM Trinh Dinh Dung has urged the two ministries to oversee the Trung Luong-My Thuan expressway project to speed up construction of the My Thuan-Can Tho stretch so that the entire road can be open to traffic by 2019.
