HCMC – Binh Thuan Province has approved a VND9.5-trillion plan to build a new coastal road through downtown Phan Thiet City, reported the Vietnam News Agency.
The 15-kilometer road will have six lanes and run from the DT.706B roundabout in Phu Hai Ward to the DT.719 intersection in Tien Thanh Commune. It will include land reclamation, a coastal park, and bridges over the Ca Ty and Phu Hai rivers.
The project is part of Binh Thuan’s master development plan for 2021–2030 and has been listed as a priority public investment for the 2026–2030 period.
A preliminary survey showed that around 141 homes would be cleared for the project.
The new road is expected to link existing coastal routes and support the city’s urban and tourism development.
According to the provincial transport project management board, Binh Thuan aims to develop 206 kilometers of coastal roads by 2050, with several sections already put into service, including Lien Huong–Binh Thanh (5.8 km), Song Luy–Hoa Thang (23 km), DT.706B–Hung Vuong Bridge (20.4 km), Ke Ga–Tan Thien (32.5 km), and a 6-km section through La Gi.
