In addition to the construction of a parallel road, package No. 8 (building a parallel road of Ring Road 4 through the old Soc Son and Me Linh districts, Hanoi) also stipulates the construction of 3 overpasses on the route including the Ca Lo River overpass, the Hanoi - Lao Cai railway overpass and the Hau village bridge.
Of these, the Hanoi - Lao Cai railway overpass is the largest bridge built under package No. 8. The project is about 560m long with 27 spans, the width of the bridge deck on each side is 15m.
According to Lao Dong on July 8, the railway overpass has now taken shape. At the construction site, many machines and workers are mobilized to construct the remaining items of the project.
Currently, there are 2 spans left on the left of the route waiting to install the last girder platforms. The installation of the remaining 2 spans will be implemented after the contractor completes the repair of the service road.
Speaking to Lao Dong Newspaper reporter, Mr. Nguyen Hoai Nam - Head of technical department, Construction Management Board of Ring Road 4 in the Capital Region, Truong Son Construction Corporation - said that up to now, the most difficult part of the railway overpass project has been basically completed.
"After completing the installation of the remaining 2 girder spans, the contractor will move to the completion stage. This phase will not take too much time" - Mr. Nam said.
The contractor is also ensuring the construction progress of the remaining 2 bridges in package 8, including Ca Lo and Hau village bridge. The main items have been basically completed by this time.
Regarding the overall progress of the entire package No. 8, Mr. Nam said that up to this point, the contractor consortium has completed about 70% of the construction volume, ensuring progress compared to the plan.
"It is expected that in July, the contractor will hand over the last 2 sections of the route. Machinery, personnel, and raw materials have been prepared by the contractor. When the site is clear, the construction work will immediately be implemented" - Mr. Nam said.
It is expected that by September 2025, package No. 8 (construction of the Ring Road 4 parallel road through the old Soc Son and Me Linh districts) will be completed, 3 months ahead of schedule as required by the City People's Committee.
