On August 19, according to information from Project Management Board 85, the route and works on the route (Km 0+000 - Km 7+150 and Km 10+180 - Km 15+140) of Dai Ngai bridge have basically completed the organic excavation and construction of the public service road (10.43km), the progress has been completed over 35% of the contract value.
Dai Ngai 2 Bridge is ahead of schedule
According to Mr. Dinh Le Thong, Executive Director of Dai Ngai Bridge project, up to now, the construction output of Dai Ngai Bridge 2 has reached 50% (8% ahead of schedule).
"It is expected that girder installation will begin in November 2024, striving to basically complete the span structure in May 2025, and complete the entire Dai Ngai 2 bridge in 2025," Mr. Thong informed.
Currently, the total volume of sand gathered at the construction site has reached 32%; the main road embankment has reached 32%, and the construction of service roads has reached 3.95/9.77km (41%).
"It is the rainy season at the moment, so it is difficult for construction progress at the construction site. However, with the spirit of "overcoming the sun and overcoming the rain", construction units have implemented many measures to avoid delays.
Specifically, such as making roofs for concrete items (cantilever) to ensure continuous construction in rainy weather conditions and being ready to work overtime, regardless of day or night, to carry out road construction," Mr. Thong shared.
According to Mr. Thong, the Dai Ngai 1 bridge project (connecting Cu Lao Dung district of Soc Trang province with Tra Vinh province) is expected to start construction in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Recently, due to difficult weather conditions and scarcity of sand materials for embankment, the construction progress of the route has been somewhat delayed.
Up to now, the difficult situation has been basically resolved, the construction teams on the route have been directed by Project Management Board 85 to speed up the implementation progress.
Responding to people's expectations
Seeing Dai Ngai 2 bridge gradually taking shape, Mr. Nguyen Van Nhieu (a resident of An Thanh Tay commune, Cu Lao Dung district) expressed his excitement. People in Cu Lao Dung district are very excited to have Dai Ngai bridge, because soon they will no longer have to suffer from ferry dependency, the dream of many generations has come true.
"I believe that after the Dai Ngai bridge is completed, it will create momentum for An Thanh Tay commune in particular and Cu Lao Dung district in particular and Soc Trang province in general in strong economic and tourism development, promising a bright future for local people," said Mr. Nhieu.
According to Mr. Huynh Thanh An, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Cu Lao Dung district (Soc Trang province), the Dai Ngai bridge project passing through Cu Lao Dung district is more than 5km long.
"Once completed, Dai Ngai Bridge will connect Cu Lao Dung with provinces in the Mekong Delta region, creating favorable conditions for trade and economic development.
In addition, awakening the potentials of trade, services, tourism, economic development in agriculture, aquaculture, trade and services of the district", Mr. An excitedly said.
The Dai Ngai Bridge construction project (crossing the Hau River) has a total length of 15.14km, starting at the intersection with National Highway 54 (in Hung Hoa Commune, Tieu Can District, Tra Vinh Province) and ending at the intersection with Nam Song Hau National Highway (Long Duc Commune, Long Phu District, Soc Trang Province).
The route is designed as a grade III plain road, with a design speed of 80km/h, four lanes, and a total investment of nearly VND8,000 billion. The project started on October 15, 2023 and is expected to be completed in 2026.
The Dai Ngai Bridge construction project includes two main bridge works (Dai Ngai 1 and Dai Ngai 2 bridges) which are fully invested with four lanes. The investment section is divided into phase 1 with two lanes with a cross-section width of 12m, a design speed of 80km/h, and a high-class A1 road surface.
The completion of Dai Ngai Bridge helps connect the entire National Highway 60, improving transportation capacity for the Mekong Delta region, creating a belt connecting the coastal provinces of the West with Ho Chi Minh City.
At the same time, it helps reduce traffic pressure on National Highway 1, shortening the distance from Ca Mau, Soc Trang, Bac Lieu to Ho Chi Minh City and vice versa by about 80km compared to the existing National Highway 1.
