On Tuesday morning, Da Nang People’s Committee Chairman Huynh Duc Tho visited the construction site of the Sun Group-developed Asia Park project on the first working day after the 9-day Tet holiday.

Designed by world-renowned American architect Bill Bensley, the 4 trillion VND project covers over 76ha of land and over 11ha of water on the south-east side of the 2 September Peace Monument.  The project is expected to be completed on 30 June.

On behalf of the city’s leaders, Chairman Tho said he hoped that the park, with its international-standard rides, will satisfy the increasing entertainment demands of local residents and become a must-visit place for domestic and foreign visitors to the city.

Meanwhile, municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary Nguyen Xuan Anh extended his Tet greetings and presented gifts to some engineers and workers at the construction site of the Hai Chau General Hospital.

Deputy Secretary Xuan Anh also took the opportunity to urge the project’s construction units to continue their efforts to ensure that the construction is completed later this year.

Also on the same day, those involved in the building of the 3,272m-long Nguyen Tat Thanh extended street returned to work after the Tet break.  The Trung Nam E&C Joint Stock Company venture has the Dong Me Kong Company as the project’s contractor.  Once completed, the 153 billion VND project will help to connect the north-west traffic axis with a ring road on the southern side of the city and the Nam Hai Van-Tuy Loan route.

In only one month since the start of the project, over 10% of the project’s construction work has been completed.  The project’s contractor pledged to make every effort to ensure that the project is completed within the scheduled 18 months.
