Construction costs for the express railway from Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho will come close to US$10 billion, or more than double what has been reported by local media, according to feasibility study consulting firm Chungsuk, from South Korea.

The high-speed railways will cross the Tien, Hau and Vam Co Dong Rivers before ascending to a flyover for the rest of the Mekong Delta section to avoid floods, according to Chungsuk’s report.

The HCMC-Can Tho leg is part of the trans-viet express railway route from Hanoi - HCMC - Can Tho before finishing at the southernmost province of Ca Mau. The total length is 1,570km long, at an earlier estimated cost of US$33-38 billion.
