The People's Committee of central Nghe An province has issued an implementation plan for an urban renovation scheme covering several wards, including Truong Vinh, Thanh Vinh, Vinh Loc, Vinh Hung, Vinh Phu, and Cua Lo.

For the 2026–2030 period, the plan outlines 138 projects with a total estimated investment of over VND29.1 trillion ($1.15 billion).

According to the plan, projects will be phased based on implementation progress, resource availability, and investment procedures. The province has directed that priority be given to key and urgent works that offer high connectivity and a significant impact on the urban landscape.

Specifically, five key flood prevention tasks for former Vinh City are slated for completion by the third quarter of 2026. Several major road projects—including Hai Thuong Lan Ong Street, Nguyen Gia Thieu Street, and the comprehensive upgrade of the route from Vinh Airport to the Ho Chi Minh Square area—must be finished by December 31, 2026.

By 2027, the province expects to complete Phase 2 of the Le Mao Street extension, the renovation of 17 inner-city roads in Cua Lo Ward, and the extension of Tran Hung Dao Street.

Notably, the upgrade of the major arterial route consisting of Quang Trung, Le Loi, Mai Hac De, and Nguyen Trai streets, along with the 72m-long section from Nguyen Trai street to the former Vinh City bypass, are included in the medium-term public investment plan. These projects are required to be completed no later than 2028.

Meanwhile, the "(former) Vinh City Priority Infrastructure and Climate Change Adaptation Project," funded by the World Bank (WB), will proceed according to the loan agreement timeline, with a final completion deadline of 2030.

The renovation plan identifies 11 focus areas, with transportation infrastructure at the forefront. This includes upgrading roads, bridges, intersections, sidewalks, and traffic safety systems. Resources will be concentrated on main axes, urban gateways, routes connecting central Vinh with Cua Lo, and areas prone to frequent traffic congestion.

Furthermore, the Provincial People's Committee has requested a development plan for public, underground, and smart parking systems to be submitted by December 31, 2026. The province also aims to mobilize private investment to support these urban development goals.
