Most recently, the Da Nang government has allowed construction sites of some of the city’s key projects to resume work in a bid to ensure their on-scheduled progress after many downed tools in late July to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, as well as ensure the safety for construction workers when the rainy season is coming.

In particular, work has been allowed to resume on some construction sites in Lien Chieu District. Included are the Golden Hills eco-urban area, the Vet 50m project on extended Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, and shophouses in the Phuong Trang high-rise trade and service complex.

They include the 2^nd stage of the upgrade of the Phu Loc wastewater treatment plant, the dredging of sections of the Co Co River, the upgrade of the Ngu Hanh Son wastewater treatment plant, the building of an anti-landslide embankment system along a section of the Vinh Dien River in Ngu Hanh Son District’s Hoa Quy Ward.
