Dong Thap Province will collaborate with the Transport Ministry to build two expressways to shave two hours of the commute from Ho Chi Minh City.
Built over the next five years, one will connect with an existing national highway and the other with an expressway, said Tran Tri Quang, deputy chairman of Dong Thap.
My An – Cao Lanh Expressway will run 26 kilometers (16 miles) from an intersection with Highway N2, part of Vietnam s north-south highway, to Cao Lanh Bridge that crosses the Tien River, a branch of the Mekong, to connect Dong Thap s Lap Vo District and Cao Lanh Town.
