Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Tran Sy Thanh and other local officials inspected some key transport projects on September 7, including the tunnel.
Thanh required that the Hanoi management board for transport facility investment and construction order contractors to speed up progress so as to open the Le Van Luong - Belt Road No. 3 tunnel by October 10 this year and Vinh Tuy 2 Bridge on the National Day (September 2) occasion in 2023.
Work on the Le Van Luong - Belt Road No. 3 tunnel started on October 2, 2020. The management board said it has urged contractors to arrange three shifts working around the clock, and that about 85% of the workload has been completed.
Meanwhile, construction is also being ramped up for Vinh Tuy 2 Bridge. About 70% of the project, which began on January 9, 2021, has been done.
