The Prime Minister asked contractors to accelerate the progress of the expressway to complete the project before December 2025.

The first phase of the Cao Lanh - An Huu Expressway has a total length of over 27km running through the Mekong Delta provinces of Dong Thap and Tien Giang and is invested with a total public investment capital of nearly VND6 trillion (US$255 million).

The Cao Lanh - An Huu Expressway will contribute to the formation of an expressway system in the Mekong Delta, connecting the main highways, such as National Road 1A, Ho Chi Minh Road, Cao Lanh – Vam Cong and Lo Te - Rach Soi expressways; and meeting the demand for transportation in the region as well as linking economic centers, international border gates and seaports, increasing competitiveness, creating a driving force of connection, promoting cooperation and regional development, ensuring national defense and security.
