Priority given to three urgent projects in Dien Bien

The terrain in northern mountainous Dien Bien province is primarily hills and mountains, making railway and inland waterway transport impossible, with goods and passengers transported by either road or aircraft. Despite capital being limited, the Ministry of Transport will prioritize pouring over VND2 trillion ($87.7 million) of public investment in the 2021-2025 period into three urgent projects in the province: renovating and upgrading National Highway No. 279B and National Highway No. 12, and expanding Dien Bien Airport.
