Road transport infrastructure
Vietnam's road system currently has a total length of 570,448 km, of which 24,136 km are national highways, 816 km of expressways, 25,741 km of provincial roads, and the rest are rural roads (Ministry of Transport, 2018).
In 2018, road traffic infrastructure has developed strongly, in a modern, focused and key direction, many highways and major bridges have been upgraded and built, focusing on Projects that connect, spread, and create motivation for socio-economic development; Many projects are invested in the BOT form, greatly reducing pressure on State budget capital. In particular, the Ministry of Transport has implemented many solutions to speed up the construction progress of some expressway sections on the Eastern North-South route in the 2017-2020 period. The entire North-South expressway is divided into 11 sections and routes, of which 3 sections use the entire State budget and 8 sections are invested in the form of public-private partnership (PPP).
Railway transport infrastructure
Vietnam's national railway network has 7 main lines with a total length of nearly 3,160 km, density reaching 7.9 km/1000 km2, of which 2,646 km of main lines and 514 km of station/branch lines (See Table 4) , including 3 types of rail gauge, mainly 1,000 mm track gauge (accounting for 84%), the rest are 1,435 mm track gauge (6%) and cage gauge (9%).
In the recent period, Vietnam Railways (VNR) has implemented new construction of a number of infrastructure items such as upgrading some stations and upgrading some routes to improve safety and shorten train running times. . Currently, the area of the station and depot serving rail transport and transshipment with other modes of transport is about 2,055,110 m2. The area of the station platform and cargo yard is about 1,377,621 m2. Including large and modern stations and depots with large capacity, such as:
- Station: Hanoi station, Giap Bat station, Ninh Binh station, Thanh Hoa station, Da Nang station, Saigon station...
- Station warehouse: Warehouse 10 Hai Phong station; Hanoi Railway Station luggage warehouse; retail warehouse at Giap Bat station…
Inland waterway transport infrastructure
Regarding inland waterways, Vietnam is a country blessed with natural resources, with up to 2,360 large and small rivers and canals with a total length of about 41,900 km, average density of 0.27 km/1 km2, and 124 inlets. River, is a country with the largest density of rivers and canals in the world. The total length of inland waterways nationwide under management and exploitation is 17,253 km. The Central Government manages national inland waterways with a total length of about 7,071.8 km (accounting for 41% of the total length of inland waterways). are being exploited and managed nationwide). These are vital transport routes connecting economic centers and large industrial parks of the region and the whole country (Ministry of Transport, 2018).
The Northern region:
The Northern waterways are mainly on the Red River, Duong River, Thai Binh River and Luoc River. The waterway transportation network connects the provinces of the Red River Delta with the seaport areas of Hai Phong and Quang Ninh, connecting with the Northern Midlands and Mountains provinces via Lo River. In addition, Quang Ninh is also the starting point of the river-sea transport route from North to South to share the burden on the road.

Central region:
Mainly independent inland waterways or only within each province (from Thanh Hoa province to Quang Nam). River routes have steep terrain, connecting from the seaport deep inland to local remote districts. In these areas, every year during the rainy season, they are often greatly affected by pipe floods, flash floods, and ink levels. The water level of the rivers rose very quickly, the flow was strong, but the water level also dropped very quickly (only a few days after the flood). The scope of transport exploitation for river and sea vessels is mainly from National Highway 1 to the sea. Some provinces have river routes capable of water transport deep inland.
Southern region:
The national inland waterways currently managed by the Central Government are 2,968.9 km. A network of rivers and canals with a large density, flowing through most economic centers, urban areas, and industrial parks, connecting river ports and seaports, connecting to the sea through many estuaries, forming water transport axes. favorable. Waterway transportation in the Southern Delta is very developed. Every year, waterway transportation accounts for 65-70% of tons and 70-75% of tons/km in freight transport of the entire region. The river network in the Southern region is formed by two main river systems: the Dong Nai river system and the Mekong river system. These two river systems are connected by canals with high traffic density such as Cho Gao canal, Lap Vo - Sa Dec canal, Hong Ngu canal, Tan Chau canal, Vinh Te canal.
Air transport infrastructure
According to Decision 236/QD-TTg approved by the Prime Minister on February 23, 2018, by 2030, Vietnam will operate a total of 28 airports, including 15 domestic airports and 13 international airports, of which Bai, Da Nang, Cam Ranh, Tan Son Nhat, Long Thanh are key international gateways. It is expected that by 2020, the total output through airports will reach about 131 million passengers/year and 2.2 million tons of goods/year. Vietnam Airlines is aiming to rank fourth in ASEAN in terms of transport output, aircraft fleet development and airport system (Ministry of Transport, 2018).
To meet the high growth rate of the aviation industry, Decision 236 has set out planning directions for sustainable development and promoting international integration; Maximize all resources to develop aviation infrastructure; promote the roadmap to liberalize air transport on a bilateral and multilateral basis... In addition, the planning also focuses on developing more flight routes according to the "point-to-point" operating model; Encourage the opening of international flights to/from airports with demand and potential for tourism development...; Supplementing orientations for developing flight networks according to the multimodal transport model...; Adjust the planning of the number of airports to operate; develop specialized aviation logistics centers; updated ICAO's new Airlift Plan; Supplement planning on environmental protection.
There are currently 22 airports in operation, including 9 international airports and 13 domestic airports. Among these 22 airports, Van Don international airport just came into operation in 2018.
