Speaking at a ceremony to resume work on the project after the Lunar New Year festival, Hien said trial run is projected to be carried out in each part and the metro route as a whole from Long Binh depot to Ben Thanh central station this year, which is a key year for the project to meet the deadline for commercial operation.

So far, 89 percent of the workload of the Metro Line No.1 project has been completed. Eleven trains used for the line have arrived in Viet Nam.

At the event, Vice Chairman of the HCM City People’s Committee Le Hoa Binh urged relevant agencies to devise measures to surmount difficulties caused by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and speed up the implementation of the project this year in a safe and efficient manner.

Municipal authorities will hold fortnightly meetings to keep watch on progress and timely address bottlenecks so that the project will be on schedule, he said.
