Implementing many key projects

According to the Department of Construction of An Giang province, in the period of 2020 - 2025, the transport infrastructure in the province has undergone a strong transformation. Important transport routes of roads, inland waterways, seaports, and airports have been completed and put into operation, contributing to promoting economic restructuring and improving people's lives.

Up to now, 100% of the projects have been approved by the Provincial People's Committee, 66/66 projects have been started, 49/66 projects have been completed and put into use, reaching over 89%.

The project to build a regional connecting road from Tan Chau town to Chau Doc city, connecting with Kien Giang and Dong Thap provinces, was inaugurated and put into operation in August 2025.

With the attention and leadership of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee, these key traffic projects have been prioritized to focus resources for investment. Notably, key traffic works and projects have been completed and put into use, such as: Project to renovate and upgrade Lo Te - Rach Soi route; project to build a regional connecting road from Tan Chau town to Chau Doc city, connecting with Kien Giang and Dong Thap provinces.
