Every Vietnam village connected by road by 2015

All villages in Vietnam will be connected by roads that can be used by motor vehicles by 2015, according to the country’s Ministry of Transport. The key access pledge is part of a road building programme started five years ago that has so far cost US$2.23 billion (VND 47 trillion). Part of the scheme also includes the construction of roads for motorbikes and non-motorised vehicles, especially roads running through poor areas.
