Work is expected to begin on shared infrastructure of the Lien Chieu Port project on December 14, according to the Da Nang Management Board of Priority Infrastructure Investment Projects.

The shared infrastructure construction will feature dikes and breakwater systems (1,170m); navigation channel, turnaround places and marine signaling systems for cargo ships of up to 100,000DWT (6,000-8,000TEU); road traffic system connecting the port; and electricity and water supply infrastructure and ancillary works synchronously to the port gate.

In the immediate future, the approach road to the Lien Chieu Port will have 6 lanes. In addition, there will be separate entry and exit roads to the port in order to ensure convenient circulation of goods.
