Planned works on National Highway 53 includes upgrading a 46-km-long section between Long Ho – Ba Si in Vinh Long and Tra Vinh provinces as well as building a 23 km bypass in the Vinh Long province. The project is estimated to cost over USD76 million.
The agency will also upgrade a 77-km-section of National Highway 62 and build a new 8 km bypass. The project is expected to cost USD93.8 million. Finally, the MOT has also earmarked USD63.95 million to upgrade the 142-km-long National Highway 91B. Majority of the funding will be generated from borrowing.
