A new expressway project is being planned in Vietnam. The expressway will connect Soc Trang Province and Can Tho City to An Giang Province's Chau Doc city. Half of the necessary funding will be supplied by the Vietnamese Government, with development funding and private sources likely to provide the rest of the financing required. The 200km highway will feature two lanes in either direction and will cost some US$1.27 billion to build. Construction should start in 2024 and be complete in 2026.
A series of proposed infrastructure projects have been given approval in Thailand. Worth some US$213.3 million, the projects will be implemented in Udon Thani Province, Bueng Kan Province, Nong Khai Province, Loei Province and Nong Bua Lamphu Province.
Transport infrastructure works being planned include a new port on the Mekong River and road works in Chiang Kan Province and Loei Province. In addition, a new 139km road will connect Udon Thani with Bueng Kan.
