Cần Thơ City constitutes an independent municipality at the same level as provinces of Vietnam. It was created in the beginning of 2004 by a split of the former Cần Thơ Province into two new administrative units: Cần Thơ City and Hậu Giang Province. It borders the provinces of An Giang, Hậu Giang, Kiên Giang, Vĩnh Long and Đồng Tháp. Can Tho is connected to the rest of the country by National Road 1A and Can Tho Airport. The Can Tho Bridge is opened for the traffic on April 2010. The 6-lane Saigon-Can Tho express way is also done in parts from Ho Chi Minh City to Trung Luong of My Tho. The hydrofoil express boat links this city with Saigon.
