CAN THO — Authorities in Can Tho City and Long An Province have unveiled plans to build a highway to the Cambodian border.
At a meeting held in Can Tho on Tuesday, they unveiled two routes for the Can Tho-An Giang border road.
The first, to branch off from National Highway No.1A in Can Tho, runs parallel to Highway No. 91 until Chau Doc in An Giang Province, before reaching Tinh Bien District on the border. It will be 110km long.
The second follows a similar route until Chau Doc, before turning north-west to the Khanh Binh border area in An Phu District. This route is 140km long.
Whichever route is chosen, it will be a six-lane, 35-metre wide highway.
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung has signalled the Government’s approval for the project to be undertaken in Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) mode.
The meeting on Tuesday was attended by Dorothy John and Richard Murray, representatives of US firms Global Venture Inc and Pacific Development Group Llc.
