Mr. Dao Van Cuong - Commander of Construction Joint Stock Company 368 said: "Bridge No. 2 and 3 across Kim Son Lake have a total length of 1km, with a total investment of more than 260 billion VND. The project started in June 2023 and there are 15 days left to complete the bridge deck concrete. The construction over the lake caused the contractor to face many difficulties in terms of terrain and weather conditions."

“The weather at the end of the year has been rainy and humid, so the asphalt paving of the bridge deck has to wait for a sunny day. Workers are installing railings, dividers and bridge deck joints,” said a representative of the construction unit. In the picture are overpasses with dozens of spans, each pier is 30-40m high, and the Super T girders are sturdy.
