On June 22, the contractor, Hoa Binh 479 Joint Stock Company, is focusing on the construction of bridge No. 1 of the Vung Ang - Bung expressway project in Ha Tinh province.
Bridge No. 1 is 942 m long, with 22 spans, spanning the valley in Ky Hoa commune, Ky Anh town, and was officially started in February 2023. Up to now, the contractor is making efforts to connect the last two spans of this bridge.
The Deo But tunnel project under the construction of Son Hai Group is also being focused on completion. Up to now, the right tunnel has completed the road surface concrete paving, installed electromechanical systems, fire prevention and fighting, and painted the tunnel lining.
On June 22, a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper asked about the goal of opening the Vung Ang - Bung expressway section on June 30 whether it would be achieved or not, a leader of the Vung Ang - Bung expressway component project management board said that according to the Prime Minister's order, the opening ceremony of this route will not be held until August 19.
The Vung Ang - Bung expressway is 55.34 km long, passing through Ha Tinh province (12.9 km) and Quang Binh with the starting point intersecting with National Highway 12C, connecting with Ham Nghi - Vung Ang expressway in Ky Tan commune, Ky Anh district, Ha Tinh province and the end point is in Cu Nam commune, Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province connecting to the Bung - Van Ninh expressway.
The project is invested by Project Management Board 6 (Ministry of Construction). The project is divided into 2 construction packages, of which the XL01 construction package is undertaken by Son Hai Group - Vietnam Construction and Import-Export Joint Stock Corporation - Joint Stock Company 484 - Construction Joint Stock Company 369 - Joint Stock Company 479 Hoa Binh.
The XL02 construction package is constructed by Phuong Thanh Traffic Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company - Lizen Joint Stock Company.
There are still some unfinished items on the route. The project site in the section passing through Quang Binh province has not yet been handed over 100%.
Thus, the Vung Ang - Bung expressway component project cannot open the route and put it into operation on June 30 as planned by the Ministry of Construction.
One of the reasons for not achieving the plan is due to complicated and difficult construction terrain, construction through forests and mountains and related to site handover progress.
