In 1992, when Ninh Thuan was re-established, it had less than 500 km of roads, mainly concentrated in the downtown of Phan Rang - Thap Cham City. After three decades, the province's transportation network system has developed quite comprehensively to drive economic growth.
In the coming time, Ninh Thuan province commits to proactively spearheading comprehensive initiatives for the management and maintenance of its critical traffic infrastructure
Mr. Nguyen Van Vinh, Director of the Department of Transport, Ninh Thuan province said: “Traffic infrastructure management and maintenance is a remarkable achievement of the transport sector. To date, the province has completed the Thanh Son Airport Plan for the 2021 - 2030 period, with a vision to 2050, and is calling for investment fund in Ca Na Port - Phase 2 and Ca Na Inland Container Depot. At the same time, the sector advised the Provincial People's Committee to give opinions to the Pre-feasibility Study Report on the high-speed North - South railway project on the Ninh Thuan section and the Thap Cham - Da Lat railway restoration and renovation project at the request of the Ministry of Transport.”
