The leader of the Board said that after the promulgation of Resolution 22/2003/QH11 on November 26, 2003, which delineates the administrative boundaries of certain provinces as per the National Assembly’s directive, the Provisional Can Tho City took the initiative to establish the Can Tho Construction Investment Project Management Board. This new entity was built upon the foundational structure of the Provincial Project Management Board. Since then, the board has been assigned by the City People's Committee to invest in many important projects. Over the past two decades, the board has invested in hundreds of investment projects of different scales in the city, fundamentally changing transport and urban infrastructure and strengthening inter-district and inter-region connectivity. This has helped the city attract more investment capital for socioeconomic development and build a spacious urban area.
Some outstanding recent projects include Vam Xang Bridge, a road from Vam Xang Bridge to National Highway 61C, Provincial Road 922, Can Tho river embankment, Bon Tong - Mot Ngan Road, extended Nguyen Van Cu Road and especially Ninh Kieu Pedestrian Bridge that won the 2016 Asian Landscape Award.

To complete its assigned tasks, the board always pays attention to recruiting, training and improving the management capacity of leaders at all levels and developing personnel and managers. Its employees are not only equipped with professional knowledge but also offered the opportunity to attend professional development training courses to improve their management skills and enjoy better regimes. In addition, the board regularly reminds project managers, supervisors and executives to closely follow their work and actively coordinate with relevant parties; regularly holds meetings and inspects projects to ask construction companies to complete their work on schedule, accept the completed volume and disburse payments as planned.
With its determination and creativity to perform its role of development investment management and ensure project progress, Can Tho Construction Investment Project Management Board is currently trusted by the City People's Committee to invest in Component 2 Package of Can Tho section in the first-phase construction of Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang Expressway.
