A number of highways have opened to traffic recently in the Mekong Delta, which has a regional population of 20 million.
On the first days of the new year, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc issued a decision to start the construction of the My Thuan – Can Tho Expressway which connects the Trung Luong – My Thuan Highway, and to inaugurate the Lo Te – Rach Soi route.
The My Thuan – Can Tho 6-lane expressway, with total investment capital of $209 million, is expected to be put into operation in 2023.

The scenery on both sides of the road typically fascinates newcomers, many of whom enjoy the sight of vast white clouds and tall trees.
