Long Thanh Airport Access Roads Prioritize Rubber Plantation Sections

Dong Nai province is prioritizing the construction of road sections within key transportation projects to enhance connectivity to the under-construction Long Thanh International Airport. Specifically, sections that can utilize land in rubber plantation areas are favored due to the relatively easier land acquisition, creating favorable conditions for accelerating construction progress. This initiative is part of Vietnam's broader economic growth strategy, with Long Thanh International Airport expected to serve as a crucial domestic and international logistics hub. Efficient access to the airport is vital for reducing logistics costs, revitalizing the regional economy, and attracting foreign investment. According to the Dong Nai province's Project Investment Management Board, the rubber plantation sections are ready for land use, allowing for prompt commencement of work. This aims to prevent delays in the overall infrastructure development for the airport's opening and ensure progress aligns with the plan. Under Vietnam's one-party system, large-scale infrastructure projects led by the state are often prioritized as drivers of economic development. Located near Ho Chi Minh City, Long Thanh International Airport is intended to alleviate congestion at the existing Tan Son Nhat International Airport and enhance Vietnam's air transport capacity. The development of this airport and its connecting road network is a critical factor in boosting Vietnam's international competitiveness. Source: Nhan Dan
