The project, covering the construction of Cao Lãnh and Vàm Cống Bridges and several connecting routes, will be implemented in two stages: 2011-2013 and 2013-2015.

In five years, the project will help build up a better traffic network for about 170,000 local regular travelers.

It also benefits 5 million residents in the provinces of An Giang, Cần Thơ and Đồng Tháp through promoting trade in the Greater Mekong Sub-region.
