Because if these disputes are not resolved promptly, they will affect the atmosphere, spirit of cadres, workers, construction units at the construction site and the progress of the project.

With the synchronous participation, close and timely direction, up to now, in the province, there have been no problems affecting the construction progress of the project.

By August 13, in Nghe An province, 201/202 pole positions had been completed, one position, pole 360, was being constructed in Nghi Kieu commune, Nghi Loc district, and will be completed on August 14.

Focus on the final sprint

In his concluding remarks, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh commended and highly appreciated the participation of corporations, general companies; local Party committees and political systems, the police force, the army, and press agencies.

Although the construction volume is huge when the 500 kV power transmission line project, circuit 3, Quang Trach - Pho Noi, is about 519 km long, passing through 9 provinces, the terrain is difficult, the weather is not favorable; the number of large poles is up to 1,177, some poles are up to 145m high, weighing 415 tons of steel, but up to now, the remaining construction volume is not much, only 16 poles on the entire route and about 5.5% of the anchorage area needs to pull the wire. At the same time, the affected people highly support the project with more than 1,000 households having to relocate but no households have to be forced to relocate.

Agreeing to inaugurate the project before September 2, 2024, the Prime Minister emphasized that although the remaining construction volume is small, it is difficult due to harsh weather and difficult terrain, so great efforts must be made to ensure the set progress.

In the final stage, the head of the Government suggested that everyone join in with the spirit of "if you are determined, then be even more determined; if you make great efforts, then make even greater efforts; if you try, then try even harder; if you are resolute, then be even more resolute, work with more focus and emphasis".
