Vietnam continues to expand its transport and urban infrastructure through various regional projects. In Hanoi, the Tam Trinh road expansion is progressing, and construction is accelerating at the Pham Tu - Highway 70 intersection. In Ho Chi Minh City, residents on Tran Binh Trong street are relocating for road widening, and a PPP project to expand National Highway 1 has been approved. Recent developments show significant progress in the national expressway network. As of August 14, 2026, toll collection has commenced on five North-South Expressway East phase segments between Quang Ngai and Nha Trang. To support this network, the Vietnam Road Administration is accelerating the completion of 28 rest stops and parking areas along the North-South Expressway East route, aiming for operational status by the September 2 National Day holiday. However, officials have warned of slow progress at several sites in Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, and Khanh Hoa provinces regarding access roads and essential services. By August 2026, 15 North-South expressway component projects had commenced toll collection, generating over 2,100 billion VND from more than 16 million vehicle trips. The Ministry of Construction aims to complete 34 transportation projects in 2026. While projects like the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4 show capital disbursement rates exceeding 80%, major railway projects, including the North-South high-speed railway, have seen slow disbursement rates of only 3% due to their scale. Challenges include land clearance, rising material costs, and fuel fluctuations. Regional efforts include urban renewal in Quang Ninh, where residents are voluntarily donating land to widen a 3.4km road in Hai Ninh Commune. In Bac Ninh, authorities are prioritizing the modernization of outdated irrigation systems to support urbanization and extreme weather resilience. During the National Day holiday from August 29 to September 2, 2026, the expressway network saw a significant traffic surge.
