Vietnam Synchronizes 99% of National Highway and Expressway Infrastructure Data

The Vietnam Road Administration (Cục Đường bộ Việt Nam) has largely completed the standardization, cleaning and synchronization of infrastructure data for national highways and expressways, reaching 99%. That is 19 percentage points above the Ministry of Construction’s minimum target and was achieved before the planned November 15, 2026 deadline.

A total of 16,852 bridge, tunnel and road records have been synchronized, including 9,564 bridge records, 7,254 road records and 34 tunnel records. When the agency issued its decision assigning tasks on July 17, 2026, 44% of the data had been synchronized with the National Data Center; the figure has now risen to 99%.

Under the Ministry of Construction’s 100-day action plan issued on July 15, 2026, the agency was required to standardize, verify and clean at least 80% of eligible road infrastructure data by November 15. To support data entry and updates, it began providing accounts and instructions to road management units and local construction departments in April. It also provided training for approximately 4,000 participants, with 34 provincial and municipal construction departments, four road management regions and more than 3,300 commune-level administrative units taking part.

The agency also established an online support group of nearly 1,000 members to address local questions about road classification, changes to administrative boundaries, route segmentation, bridge conditions and coordinate collection, and provided a data checklist. The standardized data will be used for road management, maintenance and traffic operations. The agency said it will next process data on other national highway infrastructure assets and locally managed roads.
