Total investment capital is estimated at VND30 trillion ($1.14 billion).

The People’s Committees of Mekong Delta’s Can Tho city and An
Giang province have proposed the Ministry of Construction to expand Chau Doc –
Can Tho – Soc Trang expressway from four lanes to six lanes.

Total investment capital is estimated at nearly VND30
trillion ($1.14 billion).

If approved, the project is scheduled to start construction
in early 2027 and complete by the end of 2029.

Under the initial plan, the first phase of the expressway,  which is currently under construction, has 4
lanes with a roadbed width of 17m. It has a total length of over 57km, including
56.434km through An Giang and 0.58km through Can Tho. Total investment capital
is estimated at over VND13.5 trillion ($515 million).

The expressway consists of 47.984km of road and 33 bridges
with a total length of 9.029km.

The expressway is identified as a key transportation project
in the Mekong Delta region, playing a crucial role in completing the regional
expressway network, connecting vertical axes, and meeting transportation
demands along the important horizontal corridor of the region.
