The People’s Committee of thể Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long has officially approved the Coastal Corridor Road Project in the former Tra Vinh province.

Tra Vinh province has been merged with Vinh Long since July 2025.

The project is invested by the Vinh Long Provincial Transport Project Management Board and will be implemented across the communes of Long Hoa, My Long, Cau Ngang, Hiep My, Ngu Lac, Nhi Truong, Long Huu, Long Hiep, Tap Son, and Hung Hoa, and Duyen Hai Ward.

Regarding investment scale, component 1 of the project involves constructing the coastal corridor road with a total designed length of about 60.28 km. Of this, the main road section will be approximately 56.38 km long, built to Grade III of delta road standards with two lanes, a design speed of 80 km/h, and a roadbed width of 14 m. Along the route, 30 new bridges will be constructed using reinforced concrete and prestressed reinforced concrete.

The total investment for the project is nearly VND9.187 trillion (approximately $342 million). Funding will come from loans from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and counterpart capital. Under the financial mechanism, the central Government will allocate 90% of the ADB loan, while the province will re‑borrow 10% and arrange counterpart capital.

The project is scheduled for implementation during 2025–2030, aiming to complete the coastal corridor road connecting from Đai Ngai Bridge on National Highway 60, through the Cung Hau estuary overpass, Co Chien 2 Bridge, and Cua Dai Bridge in Vinh Long Province, while also linking with the coastal road system of Dong Thap Province which is also located in the Mekong Delta .
