After 225 days of construction, the 500kV Transmission Line 3 Project from Quang Trach (Quang Binh) to Pho Noi (Hung Yen) has been energized and the entire line is fully operational.
The 500kV Quang Trach - Quynh Luu transmission line project is the final component project of the 500kV line circuit 3 project from Quang Trach to Pho Noi. The Quang Trach - Quynh Luu project is 226 km long, passing through the provinces of Quang Binh, Ha Tinh, Nghe An. The project has 463 column foundation locations, of which 237 are located over mountains, passing through many complex terrains. Of the 197 corridor anchorages, 7 anchorages cross rivers and large lakes, and 15 anchorages cross national highways.

Along with that is the support of authorities at all levels where the project passes through, the consensus and joint efforts of the people who have given up land for the project, and participated in supporting the construction of the foundation excavation phase.

Photo: Cuong DaoUnfavorable weather conditions included many days of rain, storms, thunderstorms, extreme heat, many days of strong winds lasting from 3 to 7 hours, and thunderstorms... so at many times construction had to be stopped to ensure the safety of workers and construction equipment. Photo: Cuong DaoThe project also faced difficulties in mobilizing construction forces to erect poles and pull wires due to urgent construction progress, short implementation time, and the volume of construction work to erect poles and pull wires simultaneously for large projects.

Previously, EVNNPT completed the energization of the Thanh Hoa 500kV transformer station on June 28, 2024, the 500kV Nam Dinh 1 - Thanh Hoa transmission line project was completed on June 30, 2024, the 500kV Quynh Luu - Thanh Hoa transmission line project and Nam Dinh 1 - Pho Noi transmission line project were completed on August 19, 2024.
