For localities already having concrete rural roads, they will mobilise capital resources for upgrading their existing road networks.

Vinh Phuc has nearly 4,140 kilometres of roads, of which 3,525 kilometres are rural roads. To fulfill the transport criterion in the new-style rural are building programme, the province annually spends VND85 billion on building rural roads. 

By the end of 2015, 90% of local rural roads had been upgraded to concrete ones.
