Transport infrastructure in Mekong Delta needs urgent attentionThe opening of the Cao Lanh Bridge in the southern province of Dong Thap last week to link two banks of Tien River has signaled a promising development for the Mekong Delta. Yet until now, the Ministry of Transport is still trying to identify the reason to develop an optimal solution. However, construction of the former bridge has just been started while there is no investor for the latter one. The new channel crossing National Way No.53 and Provincial Way No.913 has turned Dong Hai, Long Vinh, Long Khanh Communes and Long Thanh Town into island ones. The major water route Cho Gao (in Tien Giang Province) to connect the Mekong Delta to Ho Chi Minh City is now in urgent need of upgrading.
