Construction on the North-South Expressway through Nghe An

The North-South Expressway section through Nghe An consists of two component projects: Dien Chau - Nghi Son and Dien Chau - Bai Vot. The 1,280m-long Than Vu Tunnel, which cuts through Than Vu Mountain connecting Dien Phu Commune, Dien Chau District and Nghi Dong Commune, Nghi Loc District, Nghe An Province, is an important project on the Dien Chau - Bai Vot route. This project is invested by Phuc Thanh Hung Enterprise. The enterprise representative said that currently, nearly 120 people are mobilized at both the North and South ends of the tunnel, including engineers, skilled technical workers and vehicle and machine operators. This is an experienced construction force nationwide. Photo: Tran Chau

Not only on holidays but also at night, the construction work in the tunnel was carried out normally because it was not affected by the weather, except for the transportation route. The preparation of materials and equipment was mobilized sufficiently and there was a backup in case of damage, so the construction site operated continuously in 3 shifts and 4 shifts without a single hour of rest.

At the construction site of Than Vu 2 Bridge in Nghi Dong Commune, Nghi Loc, passing through the protective forest, constructed by Army Corps 12 and Truong Son Company, contractors have nearly completed the concrete bridge piers. These piers have a maximum height of 45m. Construction at such a height requires engineers and workers to be skilled and able to withstand a lot of pressure. Than Vu 2 Bridge has more than 200 girders, and is currently installing the third span girder. Photo: Thanh Le

At the construction site of the Hung Duc bridge over Lam River, nearly 4km long, constructed by Hoa Hiep Company Limited and Cienco 4 Company, workers are also arranged to ensure that they are not affected by the weather. Photo: Thanh Le

Vehicles and machinery are pouring concrete on the O O bridge passing through Nghi Loc district. The O O bridge is being constructed by the 12th Army Corps and Truong Son Company. Mr. Le Duc Hao - Director of Truong Son Company said that after days of rain, the weather is favorable so workers are concentrating on construction as usual. Photo: Tran Chau

At the Dien Chau - Nghi Son expressway, because it has just rained, workers are mainly resting and working in areas not affected by bad weather. Currently, the North - South expressway through Nghe An still has some problems with the site clearance, if the localities do not resolve them completely, the progress will be further affected.

The Nghi Son - Dien Chau expressway project has a total length of 50km, passing through Thanh Hoa and Nghe An provinces with a total investment of nearly 7,300 billion VND. In the photo: Construction of the XL4 package through Dien Chau district. Photo: Thanh Le
