Can Tho intersection expansion project causes traffic and dust issues

The expansion of the Nguyen Van Linh and 3 Thang 2 intersection in Can Tho has faced significant delays and operational issues. Although construction began in April 2025 with an initial completion target of April 2026, the project is now not expected to finish until late November.

Local residents and reports indicate that the contractor has applied aggregate stone across the entire old road surface rather than using a phased construction approach. This method has turned the central intersection into a hotspot for traffic congestion, heavy dust during sunny weather, and slippery conditions during rain, leading to several accidents.

The Can Tho Civil and Industrial Construction Project Management Board, the project owner, stated that site clearance is complete and the intersection is expected to be finished by the end of November.
