Efforts to repair and upgrade infrastructure in Vietnam are underway following damage caused by Typhoon Yagi and subsequent heavy rains. In the Chay River region, repair work on landslide-damaged sections of Provincial Road 160 has exceeded 50% completion, with crews using stone cages and reinforced embankments to stabilize the road near Nam Ton Bridge.

In Lao Cai province, a 176 billion VND project has been approved to upgrade a 12.9km road connecting National Highway 70 to Lang Nu village between 2026 and 2029. This project aims to repair disaster-damaged infrastructure and support regional socio-economic development.

Additionally, Quang Tri province has initiated long-term urban planning to create a linked network of eight urban areas by 2050. This plan designates Dong Hoi and Dong Ha as key urban centers and identifies Lao Bao as a strategic international border gate within the East-West Economic Corridor.
