Its construction was first started in 2009 but was then delayed for almost 10 years, with just 10 percent of the workload done by 2018. The project was then transferred to the Tien Giang People’s Committee and the Deo Ca group in March 2019.

The Mekong Delta will have about 400 km of highway by 2025. After the Trung Luong-My Thuan, work on other highway projects such as My Thuan-Can Tho, Can Tho-Ca Mau, and Chau Doc-Tran De will be accelerated.
