The 371 billion VND overpass on National Highway 1A in Nghe An will be open before New Year's Day.

(Baonghean.vn) - The overpass on National Highway 1A at Cau Giat intersection (Quynh Luu, Nghe An) is speeding up progress and will open to traffic before New Year's Day.

This is the route connecting Tuan town (Quynh Chau) to Lach Quen port (Quynh Thuan), which is of great significance to the economic and social development of Quynh Luu district.

The project is invested by the Joint Venture of the Construction and Transport Construction Corporation 4 and the Corporation 319 (Ministry of National Defense) with a total cost of more than 371 billion VND, from the capital of the National Highway 1A expansion project under the form of a BOT contract.

Recently, in Cau Giat town, there are still 43 households that have agreed to receive compensation but have not yet handed over the land, causing the Cau Giat crossroads overpass project to be delayed by more than 1 year.

Faced with that situation, the district land clearance council, the police force and Cau Giat town mobilized the entire political system to participate in mobilizing people to return the land to the construction unit.

On September 20, Cau Giat town basically completed the site clearance work and handed it over to the public unit. After more than 1 month of project implementation, the overpass route in the West has been completed with a total construction volume of 85%; including items such as bridge abutments, retaining walls...

Mr. Nguyen Minh Ha - Head of the Vinh City Bypass BOT Construction Team said that according to the design, the overpass will be constructed with 3 items: bridge - retaining wall - roadbed. Currently, the unit is focusing on constructing the retaining wall and is expected to hand over before November 15 for another unit to construct the roadbed.

"After completing 160m of retaining wall, on November 10, the unit will proceed to install the last span of bridge girder, then proceed to make the roadbed" - Mr. Ha added.

To quickly complete the Cau Giat overpass in the West, the construction unit mobilized nearly 50 workers and technicians to work 3 shifts/day, regardless of sun or rain; with such progress, the project will be completed around December 20, 2017 (before New Year's Day 2018).
