Alongside the development of the nearly 3,000-hectare Can Gio Coastal Tourism Urban Area, Ho Chi Minh City is ramping up the planning and construction of key transport infrastructure projects, including bridges, roads, and metro lines, toward the sea, aiming to become a large-scale coastal megacity.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has ordered that the restructuring of local governments must not hinder the implementation of the critical national programmes addressing substandard houses, transport infrastructure, and public investment disbursement.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on June 22 chaired a national teleconference to speed up substandard housing eradication, key transport projects, and public investment disbursement.

Over the past 10 years, the transport infrastructure in the western region of Nghe An has changed significantly. In order to promote socio-economic development in remote areas, the province is implementing many transport projects connecting the district centre to the commune; the commune centre to remote villages and hamlets.
