From May 2025 to now, the erratic sunshine and rain at the construction site have affected the construction progress, especially construction packages 2 and 3. To overcome the difficulties, the investor has directed the contractor to mobilize machinery, equipment, and human resources to organize construction in "3 shifts, 4 teams" to meet the progress.
