  "summary": "The Vietnamese government has approved a budget of over VND27 trillion (approximately US$1.05 billion) for the construction of Can Tho 2 Bridge and its access roads. The bridge, which will span 870 meters and feature a cable-stayed design with a steel truss girder, will connect the My Thuan – Can Tho Expressway at the Cha Va interchange in Vinh Long Province with the Can Tho – Hau Giang Expressway at the IC2 interchange in Can Tho City. The bridge will accommodate both road and railway traffic, with the upper deck designed for vehicles and the lower deck for trains. The project, which is expected to begin in 2027 and take approximately five years to complete, aims to contribute to the development of the eastern North-South Expressway and the Ho Chi Minh City–Can Tho railway line.",
