TPO - With a length of nearly 1 km over the irrigation reservoir, the bridge on the North-South expressway section through Yen My lake (Nong Cong district, Thanh Hoa) is the bridge with the longest length over the lake on the Hanoi - Thanh Hoa section.

As a category of package XL03 of the North-South expressway component project, section QL45 - Nghi Son ( Thanh Hoa ), the expressway bridge over Yen My lake has been basically completed and is completing the final stages.

The bridge is 984 meters long (the longest overpass on the North-South Expressway, Hanoi - Thanh Hoa section), spanning Yen My irrigation lake with a depth of 19 meters, providing water for production and farming for the entire Nghi Son economic zone and some communes of Nong Cong district.

The bridge has a total investment of 240 billion VND. Once opened, the bridge will help the North-South expressway to the section passing Yen My Lake in Nong Cong district without having to take a detour of dozens of kilometers.

The bridge is divided into 2 investment phases. Phase 1 (currently) is built with reinforced concrete with 22 spans on the right side of the route. The cross-section width of the bridge is 16.5 meters, equivalent to 4 lanes, 2 lanes in each direction.

Talking to PV Tien Phong , Mr. Pham Van Duyet - Vinaconex Corporation, representative of the bridge construction contractor consortium, said that after nearly 2 years of construction, the bridge across Yen My lake has completed the main items.

Currently, construction units are completing the final work, including preparing the asphalt pavement, with the goal of completing the bridge before August 30, 2023.

The bridge is located next to the dam that regulates water for production and prevents floods in Nong Cong and part of Nghi Son town.

The bridge is also a "connecting shore" that helps two locations, Nong Cong district and Nghi Son town, travel easily.

The 43.2 km long National Highway 45 - Nghi Son project was started by the Ministry of Transport on July 1, 2021, and is scheduled to be completed by September 2, 2023. The route has a total investment of VND 8,380 billion - budget money. After the project is completed, vehicles traveling North-South through Thanh Hoa will travel entirely on the highway. The Yen My Lake overpass project has a cost of VND 240 billion, belonging to the XL03 package.
