Vietnam continues to accelerate its infrastructure and urban development through large-scale transport, housing, and aviation projects. In Hanoi, Sun Group is renovating the West Lake area, while construction progresses on the 7,300 billion VND Thuong Cat Bridge. Nationally, the Ho Chi Minh Road project aims for major connectivity by the end of 2026. In Ho Chi Minh City, massive investments focus on the An Phu Interchange. The city is also implementing Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) models to integrate urban spaces with metro lines, and has approved over 49,000 billion VND for urban renovation projects along the Kenh Doi canal to improve sanitation and drainage. Recent developments include a 10,000 billion VND flood prevention project nearing 95% completion, though a 600 billion VND highway intersection in Binh Chanh remains unused pending inspections. National expressway and transport development is expanding. The Vành đai 5 - Hanoi Capital Region project is being prepared to boost industrial connectivity, and the Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang Expressway is being accelerated in the Mekong Delta. New major works include the Cat Lai and Long Hung bridges, both scheduled for 2029 completion via public-private partnerships.
