Can Tho City announces major bridge and parking infrastructure projects

Can Tho City has announced major infrastructure developments, including the planning of four new public parking lots and the construction of the Can Tho 2 Bridge.

To address parking shortages, the city's urban planning approved for late 2025 includes four strategic locations: near Song Hau Park, at the end of Nguyen Van Cu extended road in the Cu Lao Huong area, at the intersection of Nguyen Van Cu extended and Tran Hoang Na, and at the junction of Nguyen Van Cu extended with routes 923 and 918. Additionally, the Ninh Kieu Ward parking and service center, a 158 billion VND project, is already operational and can accommodate approximately 1,000 vehicles.

The Can Tho 2 Bridge project is estimated to cost 27,050 billion VND. Designed as a dual-level structure, the bridge will feature a roadway on the upper level and a double-track railway on the lower level. Spanning approximately 15.14km through Can Tho and Vinh Long provinces, the project is expected to begin construction on access roads in late 2027, with the main cable-stayed bridge following in 2028. The entire project is slated for completion by 2031.
