Quang Tri is located in the midpoint of Vietnam where all routes from the South to the North pass through, and is the first point of Vietnam on the East-West Economic Corridor connecting Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Central Vietnam. The two above traffic axes with the focus on Quang Tri province have created a balanced and favorable economic triangle of the region, optimally shortening the time and distance of goods transportation. Quang Tri province is connected to the neighboring airport and seaport systems by synchronous and modern transportation systems that have been invested in, such as Cam Lo - La Son Expressway (formed), Cam Lo - Van Ninh Expressway (under construction), Cam Lo - Lao Bao Expressway, National Highway 15D (under construction), National Highway 9 (formed), etc. In particular, the province is also working with capable investors to build the My Thuy deep-water seaport system and Quang Tri airport, creating a proactive position in local transportation and logistics.
