Infrastructure and economic development in Can Tho
Overview
Can Tho is advancing several large-scale economic and infrastructure development initiatives. In late August 2026, the city issued a scheme to establish the 300-hectare Can Tho High-Tech Park, an estimated 5,051 billion VND project. By early September 2026, construction commenced on the Thien Quan Center and the Tran Bach Dang bridge. On September 24, 2026, the Can Tho People's Committee officially decided to establish the Can Tho High-Tech Park in O Mon Ward, focusing on biotechnology, automation, and new materials. To support these developments, the city launched a “90-day and night” emulation campaign to accelerate public investment. As of September 29, 2026, Can Tho has disbursed over 10,705 billion VND, reaching 56.3% of its annual target. On September 30, 2026, the city commenced construction on the 977 billion VND Vinh Thanh resettlement area (Phase 2). Recent infrastructure updates include the 27,050 billion VND Can Tho 2 Bridge, a dual-level structure featuring a roadway and a double-track railway, with construction on access roads expected in late 2027. Additionally, the city is investing over 8,693 billion VND in “Project 3,” a flood control initiative targeting the Binh Thuy and Thoi An Dong areas through lock gates and pumping station upgrades. Urban planning also includes the 1,600 billion VND upgrade of the Nguyen Van Cu extended road to connect central areas with the Phong Dien tourism region, and the development of four new public parking lots. On October 24, 2026, construction officially commenced on a large-scale social housing project in Cai Rang Ward. Developed by Tay Do Housing Development Joint Stock Company, the 7.4-hectare project involves an estimated investment of over 5,387 billion VND and is expected to provide approximately 2,943 apartments in high-rise buildings of 28 to 30 stories.
