The difference is our expressway are at least 80km/hr in SG but be it car or motorbike, its about 40km/hr in Vietnam.
Erm, to me, Long Xuyen is like a city due to more higher storey of buildings as compared to Lap Vo which maximum might be 3 storeys. Prior to that, I knew Long Xuyen is capital of An Giang. I had my bridal photos taken in An Giang and the bridal shop is in Long Xuyen. As a MOUNTAIN TORTOISE, it was there that I first-time tried JolliBee without knowing that SG already has JolliBee outlets for example at NEX which is quite near my house! Faintz!!
About the expressway, I'm not too sure. But I know the Vietnamese Govt is building an expressway which can pass-by Dong Thap, estimated to be ready in 2025-2026. This will reduce my journey to Dong Thap from TSN airport from more than 4 hours to about just 2 hours. =)

The Mekong Delta is facing severe subsidence and many houses collapsed...so best move away from river...
Long Xuyen been the capital of Angiang cannot survive without the economy of Chau Doc about an hour journey...Chau Doc is where all the main trading business happening...also from Chau Doc can easily cross over to Cambodia...
Before M C Donald descend to Vietnam, Jollibee already opened many outlets in Vietnam including provinces....
Most locals will choose ferry crossings from Dong Thap to LX...the other way is actually cutting thru Thoc Nhot, Can Tho to Long Xuyen...
