In 2018, the district spent 7 billion VND to implement the second criteria of a new-style rural area in transport. By the end of 2018, the district has six communes completing the criteria.

According to Hoang Van Minh, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ky Son said that every year, the district launches a campaign to call for the whole community to engage in the construction of rural transport system.
