Responding to VTC News, a representative of the Nam Tu Liem District Construction Investment Project Management Board said that since the beginning of 2023, the project site has always mobilized maximum machinery, workers, and engineers to work in 3 shifts continuously to bring the project to the finish line on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of the Capital (October 10). However, the rainy weather has greatly affected the progress and quality of construction items along the entire route, so the unit has not achieved the set schedule.
