In addition to ongoing projects such as Dai Ngai Bridge, Ba Lai 8 Bridge, Dinh Khao Bridge, and the National Highway 57 bypass route, Vinh Long is set to roll out a series of major projects in the near future, including the coastal road project.
On May 13, Mr. Tran Van Lau — Secretary of the Vinh Long Provincial Party Committee — said that the locality is making strong efforts to accelerate the progress of key infrastructure projects such as the Dai Ngai Bridge Construction Investment Project located in the former Tra Vinh – Soc Trang area; the Ba Lai 8 Bridge Construction Project; the Dinh Khao Bridge Project; and the National Highway 57 bypass route project (access road to Dinh Khao Bridge).
In addition, Vinh Long is urgently preparing investments for numerous other infrastructure works. These include coordinating to expedite the Cua Dai Bridge Project connecting Vinh Long Province and Dong Thap Province; the coastal road construction project connecting Ben Tre Province with Tien Giang and Tra Vinh under the DPO program; the Co Chien 2 Bridge Project (linking the Ben Tre and Tra Vinh areas); and the Coastal Corridor Route (Tra Vinh area).
“Recently, the province established inspection teams for multiple projects and promptly resolved various obstacles and difficulties. Once these projects are completed, they are expected to bring new momentum and create development drivers for the locality,” Mr. Lau said.
According to Mr. Lau, in addition to focusing on accelerating infrastructure and public welfare projects, during the first months of 2026, Vinh Long also concentrated on implementing a range of synchronized solutions to promote economic development.
“As a result, Vinh Long achieved economic growth of 6.31% in the first quarter. During April and the early days of May, economic development continued to deliver optimistic results. Many indicators in agriculture, forestry, fisheries; industry and construction; and services continued to exceed planned growth targets, creating favorable conditions for the province to achieve its 2026 goals ahead of schedule,” Mr. Lau stated.
Mr. Lau also noted that investment promotion activities have been implemented effectively and comprehensively through consulting, support, networking, and investment promotion programs, contributing to enhancing the province’s image and investment environment while strengthening connections with domestic and foreign investors.
Vinh Long is the first province in the Mekong Delta region to conduct a survey on training and professional development needs for 10,000 executive directors, aiming to promptly address challenges, enhance management capabilities, and improve the province’s investment and business environment.

Currently, Vinh Long has 780 valid domestic investment projects with total registered capital of VND 266,186 billion and 182 valid FDI projects with total registered capital of USD 5,893.32 million.
Regarding agriculture, the provincial leader stated that Vinh Long will continue restructuring crops and livestock toward higher economic value; building and improving agricultural value chains (coconut, pomelo, rambutan, and durian) associated with new rural development; and transforming from small-scale agricultural production to an agricultural economy model that better meets market demand.
