Recorded by the reporter at the construction site, the Thuan An sea-crossing bridge after 18 months of construction is step by step “taking shape" with about 300 workers and machinery working overtime. Currently, the construction contractor finalizes a number of main items such as bored piles for bridge piers, constructing the pier body, concreting 139/326 beams, with a total construction value of more than 780 billion VND, reaching about 37.36%.
According to the design, the project has up to 50 bridge piers, including 2 abutments. Up to now, only piers from T1 to T5 in Hai Duong Commune have not yet been finalized because of no public road while other piers are being completed by the joint venture of contractors to meet the schedule.
Mr. Nguyen Van Cuong, Deputy Director of the Provincial Transport Construction Investment Project Management Board, said that the investor requires the construction contractor to take advantage of favorable weather to speed up the construction progress of all items by working overtime and increasing work crews. For construction items that are at risk of being affected by storms and cannot be accelerated, the contractor must re-establish the construction schedule for these items and speed up construction to meet the overall construction schedule.
Concurrently, the investor urges the contractors to gather manpower, materials and equipment to urgently finalize the items that are frequently flooded and finalize the movement of machinery, camps, manpower out of the underwater areas before the 2023 rainy season.
