On the afternoon of February 7, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Da Nang City Party Committee Nguyen Dinh Vinh inspected the progress of the Quang Da Bridge project, connecting Da Nang City and Quang Nam Province.

The Management Board of Investment and Construction Projects for Transport and Agricultural Works in Da Nang said that the project has completed 64% of the contract value, of which the bridge part is 75% completed; the road, drainage, irrigation ditches, and approach roads are about 35% completed.

The project has 156 files subject to clearance on the Da Nang side. Up to now, 5/156 files have not signed the land handover minutes, of which 2 files are still stuck on the main road.

Quang Nam side (by Dien Ban Town People's Committee) has handed over the land in 11 files. In addition, 5 files (agricultural land) have been cleared to build a connecting ramp to restore the residential road under the bridge, but the land has not been handed over yet.

This unit said that the bridge will be "closed" before March 8, the asphalt road surface and bridge deck will be guaranteed to be technically open to traffic before March 29, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Da Nang City.

However, the project still has some problems, due to the difference between the elevation of the approach road and the natural ground elevation of about 5m. To complete the construction of the 50m approach road in Quang Nam, the northern belt road project of Quang Nam province must soon start the foundation construction of the section bordering the two projects.

At the same time, to serve the opening of Quang Da bridge connecting the two localities, the northern beltway of Quang Nam province needs to speed up the project construction progress, prioritizing the implementation of the section from the end of the Quang Da bridge project to the intersection with DH12 road in Dien Ban town (about 1.2km long) before March 29.

The Standing Deputy Secretary of the Da Nang City Party Committee shared that Quang Da Bridge is a symbol of solidarity and unity between the two localities, so it should soon be identified as a key project.

Knowing the problems after hearing the report, standing at the construction site, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Vinh immediately called Mr. Nguyen Xuan Ha, Vice Chairman of Dien Ban Town People's Committee (Quang Nam Province) to discuss.

According to Mr. Vinh, Mr. Ha said that Dien Ban town regularly meets to quickly resolve problems related to the progress of Quang Da bridge. The two leaders also agreed to complete the project on schedule and open it to traffic before March 29 because this is a very meaningful project for the two localities.

The Quang Da Bridge project across the Yen River, connecting Da Nang and Quang Nam, started construction in December 2023, with a construction period of 510 days.

The starting point intersects with National Highway 14B in Hoa Khuong Commune (Hoa Vang District, Da Nang) and the end point connects with the Northern Belt Road Project of Quang Nam Province (in Dien Tien Commune, Dien Ban Town).

Current status of the 275 billion VND river bridge connecting Da Nang - Quang Nam after 1 year of construction. The Quang Da bridge over Yen river connecting Da Nang and Quang Nam, built with a budget of nearly 275 billion VND, is taking shape after more than 1 year of construction.
