Overcoming floods, speeding up construction

At the construction site of the Western Expressway, passing through An Giang province, Giao Thong Newspaper reporters recorded hundreds of workers and dozens of pieces of equipment and machinery working every day.

The contractor proactively divided and constructed the flood-proof section of the Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway project, passing through An Giang province.

At package 42, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Thanh Nhang, Deputy Director of Truong Son 11 Management Board, Truong Son Construction Corporation, said that the construction unit will construct nearly 14km of the highway section passing through An Giang province. Of which, about 4km is in the flood-risk area.

To proactively respond, the contractor organized workers to construct these locations before the flood flooded the fields.

Currently, all the piers and piers of the 5 bridges in the package have been completed and the girders are being installed. The surface of these bridges is expected to be basically completed by mid-December. Many other items of these bridges are also targeted for completion this year.

For road locations in flooded areas, contractors proactively construct across the flood and workers are currently installing wicks.
