(Baonghean.vn) - The North-South Expressway, Dien Chau - Bai Vot section, is being constructed by joint ventures and is speeding up its progress. During the recent holidays and at present, the teams and units are still working in three shifts throughout the day.

The North-South Expressway, Dien Chau - Bai Vot section, invested by Phuc Thanh Hung Joint Stock Company, is being vigorously constructed by joint venture units. The project passes through Dien Chau, Nghi Loc, Hung Nguyen districts of Nghe An province (44.40km) and Duc Tho district of Ha Tinh province (4.9km). A representative of Phuc Thanh Hung Joint Stock Company said: The unit has mobilized human resources, material resources, and vehicles, divided into shifts to work day and night, with the highest goal of ensuring the project's progress as set out.

Up to now, the project enterprise has received the handover of the site from the Project Management Board 6 and the local Land Acquisition Council with a volume of 46.3/49.30 km (93.92%). The remaining site volume is mainly stuck in protective forests and land through residential areas, technical infrastructure works, some graves in Hung Nguyen... At the "critical point" of Than Vu Dien Chau mountain, the units are still arranging many construction teams to dig tunnels. Here, some contractors work until 10pm before stopping. Photo: QA

Taking advantage of favorable weather, vehicles were mobilized to the maximum to transport raw materials for the project. According to the unit's survey, the earthwork mines basically meet the demand, but they are unevenly distributed, so the transportation cost is high, some mines have much higher prices than estimated, causing difficulties for contractors. For stone mines, the reserves meet the demand, but the mining capacity of the mines is low, contractors have to use many mines to meet the schedule... Photo: Quang An.

The project enterprise has directed contractors to focus on early implementation of the internal service road system and currently, 35.7 km of internal service roads have been constructed along the entire route to serve traffic as well as transport materials. Photo: Quang An

By the end of April 2022, the entire project had mobilized 69 construction teams, the total value of contractors' implementation was 349.84 billion VND, reaching 90% of the progress plan for April 2022.

In the coming time, the unit will speed up the construction of service roads across the entire project, thereby connecting the service roads with major national and provincial highways such as N2, N5, QL48E, QL46A, QL46B, QL46C, QL8A... to transport materials and equipment for construction of the main route and works on the route. Up to now, the entire service road system on the route has been constructed for about 35.7/50 km, reaching about 71.4% of the volume. Strive to open the entire service road system on the route to traffic by May 15, 2022. Photo: Quang An
