On Thursday, the Management Board of the Hai Van Tunnel Project launched an emulation movement entitled ‘90 Days to Complete the Construction of the Hai Van Tunnel 2 Project’.

According to a spokesperson for the Deo Ca Investment JSC - the project’s developer, the emulation movement will focus on guaranteeing labour safety and hygiene, and ensuring that the work will officially open to the traffic on 25 September.

Construction on the two-lane Hai Van Tunnel 2, which runs parallel to the two-lane Hai Van 1 tunnel, and upgrading the current two-lane Hai Van No 1 on the National Highways No 1A, started in April 2016 with total investment of 8.5 trillion VND (US$376 million).

The completion of the 6.29km Hai Van Tunnel 2 project and 5.85km entrance roads at the two ends of the tunnel will help shorten travel time for vehicles on the North-South road from 2020.
