Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has required that the Can Tho-Ca Mau expressway project must be completed by December 19, 2025 to mark the National Resistance Day, while examining the construction site in southern Ca Mau city on April 20.

This is the eighth time the Government leader inspected the project since its construction began on January 1, 2023.

The 110-km expressway connects Mekong Delta Can Tho city with nearby provinces of Hau Giang, Bac Lieu, Kien Giang, and Ca Mau in the delta.

The Can Tho-Ca Mau expressway has a total investment capital estimated at over VND27.5 trillion ($1.05 billion). It is the last section of the Eastern North-South expressway project.
