During the Lunar New Year, more than 2,000 engineers and workers put aside their own joys and worked hard on the construction of the horizontal and vertical expressways in the West.
"I'm not home this spring"
During the Lunar New Year, at package XL02 of component project 3, Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway, dozens of workers were still working hard.
Workers install girders of Hau Giang 3 bridge, part of component 3 project of Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway.
Worker Doan Van Huynh (residing in Dak Lak province) shared that he is used to celebrating Tet at the construction site. He said that some years he comes home for Tet, some years he doesn't. In total, he has not returned home for Tet for 8 years.
"Last year I was able to return, this year I gave it to the other brothers to return. When I told them the news, my parents were sad, and I was a little sad. But the project's progress is urgent, and not only me but many other brothers are also staying, so we encourage each other to work together. My family also understands and encourages me. If I can't return this year, I will return next year to make up for it," Huynh confided.
Mr. Tran Trung Nghia, Deputy Director of the Executive Board of Trung Nam Construction and Installation Joint Stock Company (Trung Nam E&C) said that Trung Nam E&C is undertaking the construction of package number 2 of the project.
Workers and engineers are still at the construction site, working hard during the Tet holiday.
"We are installing girders on four large bridges in the package. This Tet, we plan to work through Tet on these four bridges to ensure the completion of girder installation according to the set schedule.
As for the main route, we have arranged about 10 construction teams to carry out sand and soil reclamation work during Tet," said Mr. Nghia.
According to Mr. Nghia, in the past, the contractor had encountered many difficulties in searching for sand mines. However, thanks to the help of the investor, as well as the Ben Tre Provincial People's Committee and the Government, there are now two sand mines and exploitation has begun. Hopefully, in 2025, the project will speed up the progress of the main line, making up for the past time.
All out push for progress

Similarly, at the construction site of the North-South Eastern Expressway in the 2021-2025 phase, Can Tho - Ca Mau section, more than 2,000 personnel are still "clinging" to the site.
