According to records, despite the extremely hot weather, high temperatures ranging from 37 to nearly 40 degrees Celsius, combined with the burning southwest wind (also known as Lao wind), hundreds of officers, engineers, workers of the investor, contractor, and consulting and supervising units are still working hard at the construction site with the spirit of "overcoming the sun and rain", working "3 shifts, 4 shifts" to determine to bring the project to the finish line.

The final items of the Vung Ang - Bung expressway are being gradually completed.

According to information from the Project Management Board (Project Management Board 6), the entire Vung Ang - Bung expressway is currently implementing 23 construction fronts simultaneously, with hundreds of machines and equipment and hundreds of officers, engineers and workers working continuously in many shifts.

The cumulative output value is equivalent to about 99% of the construction contract value. The unit is urging contractors and supervision consultants to focus on human resources, machinery and equipment to complete the remaining items, ensuring the opening of traffic on August 19.

According to records, on 23 construction sites along the Vung Ang - Bung expressway, the working atmosphere was extremely urgent and bustling. The sound of machinery operating to complete the final items such as rolling, spreading asphalt concrete on the road surface... resounded throughout the construction site.

On the Vung Ang - Bung expressway, contractors and construction units have installed guardrails, road markings, traffic signs, etc. in most sections.

Many sections on the Vung Ang - Bung highway pass through hills, lakes, dams, and valleys.

According to Mr. Hoang Xuan Thi (born in 1963, residing in Nghe An province, a worker constructing the Vung Ang - Bung expressway project), the terrain of the Vung Ang - Bung expressway project through Ha Tinh is complicated, the weather conditions are not favorable, especially in recent days the heat is very uncomfortable, combined with strong Lao winds, making it very difficult and tiring for people working on the construction site.

However, everyone tried their best to do well the tasks assigned by the investor and contractor, determined to ensure the project was completed on schedule. Everyone felt proud to contribute a small part of their efforts to the construction of the country's key traffic project.

Engineers and workers work hard on the construction site.

The Vung Ang - Bung expressway project through Ha Tinh province has many key overpasses crossing mountainous terrain, lakes, dams, rivers, streams and valleys through Ky Hoa and Ky Lac communes.

Now, after a long period of construction, the items have been basically completed. The area where these bridges will create a prominent highlight on the highway with charming and majestic natural scenery.
