Up to now, after more than 7 months of construction, while the section from the intersection withLenin AvenueThe intersection with Nguyen Van Cu Street has been basically completed, but the remaining section from Nguyen Van Cu Street to the intersection with Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street is still under construction.
Below are some photos captured by Nghe An Newspaper reporters:
Le Hong Phong Street, from the intersection with Le Nin Street to Nguyen Van Cu Street, has basically completed all items. However, because the cables have not been buried underground and there are still high-voltage electric poles standing in the middle of the road, it is not yet safe and urban beauty is guaranteed.

The shop owner said that the shop will have to close and temporarily suspend operations for the next two weeks.

The construction techniques are complicated, so the construction time is prolonged.

This is a technically difficult construction section because many manholes are where underground power and telecommunication cables are connected.

The construction process of all items is waiting for the opinions of competent authorities to handle, so there is a delay in progress. Due to voters' petitions, the Ward People's Committee has repeatedly requested the City Investment Project Management Board to urge contractors to speed up the progress.

The project to renovate and upgrade the road and sidewalk of Le Hong Phong Street (Hung Binh Ward, Vinh City) has a total investment of over 140 billion VND, including the main items: widening the road from the current 14m to 18m by cutting the sidewalks on both sides, 2m on each side; investing in underground power and telecommunication cables; replacing all current trees with Lagerstroemia trees and replacing and re-paving the sidewalk with natural stone. Le Hong Phong Street is 2.73 km long, from the starting point at the intersection with the roundabout of Le Nin - Truong Thi Street to the end point at the intersection with Le Loi - Quang Trung Street.
Mr. Nguyen Duc Thien - Deputy Director of Vinh City Investment Project Management Board shared: Basically, the Le Hong Phong road and sidewalk upgrade project does not have many problems, only the connection items arise when burying the power cables near the sidewalk area of Huynh Thuc Khang High School, the construction technique is complicated so it takes time because the plan must be submitted to the electricity industry. In addition, during the construction process, to ensure progress, the Board continuously urges and reminds the contractor to take advantage of favorable weather, arrange human resources and machinery to complete in the second quarter. However, for many reasons, the progress of some items is likely to be slower than the plan.
