These days, at the construction site of the Dong Dang - Tra Linh expressway, more than 1,000 workers and engineers have been mobilized to the construction site, "3 shifts, 4 teams" are deployed to urgently construct the project.
Amidst the mountains, groups of workers take turns, the sound of machinery rumbles, and drills seem to tear apart the mountain.
At That Khe tunnel, after determining the location and drilling the first drill to open the tunnel in mid-October, the construction unit is deploying 4 construction drills continuously in 3 shifts/day. Reinforcement is carried out as the tunnel is dug, ensuring construction safety, labor safety and the critical path according to the plan.
In addition, construction sites such as Km56+200, Na Pa hamlet, Duc Xuan commune; mountain tunnel No. 2 - Dong Khe tunnel, Ban Neng hamlet, Thuy Hung commune (Thach An); Km79+600 Na Da hamlet, Hoa Thuan town and Km85+700 Ban Tin hamlet, Lung Tao, Hanh Phuc commune (Quang Hoa)... are also being synchronously deployed.
