In recent days, bustling working atmosphere has been recorded at the construction site of a traffic infrastructure project at western end of the Tran Thi Ly Bridge in Da Nang as workers have been racing against time to ensure the on-scheduled progress of a road tunnel, as part of the project.

Following the Da Nang People’s Committee-issued Official Letter No. 5288/UBND-SKHĐT dated August 16, the completion deadline for a road tunnel as part of the under-construction traffic infrastructure project at western end of the Tran Thi Ly Bridge will be December 31, 2021. Meanwhile, the whole project must be open to traffic not later than February 28, 2022.

According to the Da Nang Management Board of Traffic Construction Investment Projects, since July 2021, construction workers have been working 3 shifts a day continuously from night to 6 am to keep progress on track.

Director of the Da Nang Management Board of Traffic Construction Investment Projects Nguyen Minh Huy said that currently, the four contractors namely Cienco 4 Group JSC, the Xuan Quang Construction JSC, the 319 Corporation Ministry Of National Defence, and the Thanh Phat Construction Co., Ltd are joining efforts to ensure the on-scheduled progress.

Construction workers are observed urgently welding steel and cleaning the surface of tunnel construction materials in preparation for the concrete pouring of the tunnel body and tunnel roof.

The tunnel is built by excavating from the surface, constructing the structure, and then covering with backfill.

The building of drainage systems along a road running behind wedding venues facing 2 September Street and the extended Nguyen Son Tra Street, and the Duy Tan - September 2 streets has been basically completed.

The project implementation progress has basically met the extension schedule, but recently has faced some difficulties due to the impact of COVID-19 and rainstorms, thereby reducing labour productivity.

In July, vehicles were allowed to travel on the overpass on September 2 Street as part of the under-construction traffic infrastructure project at western end of the Tran Thi Ly Bridge.
