HCMC – Work is being sped up on the second phase of the Eastern North-South Expressway project, with more than 500 working groups deployed to its construction sites nationwide.
Contractors are working diligently to maintain the project’s timeline, taking advantage of favorable weather conditions, reported the Vietnam News Agency.
Significant progress is being made with over 11,000 personnel on-site, including workers, engineers and consultants, along with 5,000 equipment and machinery facilities.
Local authorities in 12 provinces and cities where the expressway project passes through have completed about 87% of land clearance work.
Half of the technical infrastructure relocation activities within the project construction sites have been accomplished.
The Ministry of Transport has confirmed the operation of nine construction material mining areas, with an additional 26 currently under consideration for approval.
The ministry expected that the necessary procedures could be expedited so that exploitation activities can commence by the end of this month.
A consistent supply of construction materials is crucial in overcoming major obstacles that hinder the implementation phase of the North-South Expressway project.
