Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang Expressway constructs first layer of crushed stone

The Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway section passing through An Giang province has officially entered the construction phase of the first layer of crushed stone aggregate with a length of 2 km, starting from the intersection of National Highway 91, the branch connecting N1 and N2 with National Highway 91 to km2+00.

A series of modern machines are mobilized to ensure the construction progress of the crushed stone mixing phase meets the planned milestone.

The Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang Expressway Project Phase 1 has a total length of more than 188 km, passing through the two provinces of An Giang and Can Tho. This is a key national infrastructure project, expected to create a strong boost for the socio-economic development of the Mekong Delta region.

The section passing through An Giang province is 57 km long, with a total investment of 13,526 billion VND, including 4 packages No. 42, 43, 44 and 45. As of October 9, the total output of the 4 main construction packages reached 61.53%, 0.03% ahead of schedule.

In particular, package 42 from km0+314 to km17+240 with a total length of about 17 km constructed by Truong Son contractor has achieved 59.28% of the plan, 0.72% ahead of schedule. Currently, Truong Son contractor is speeding up the construction of the first layer of crushed stone aggregate on the entire expressway with a length of 2 km from the intersection of National Highway 91, the branch connecting N1 and N2 with National Highway 91 to km2+00. This is the first section of the expressway project intersecting with National Highway 91, in Vinh Te ward, An Giang province.

Lieutenant Colonel Le Xuan Dai, Director of Truong Son 11 Management Board (Truong Son Construction Corporation) said that Truong Son contractor is the first unit of the project to carry out the construction of crushed stone pavement for the road foundation. The paving of crushed stone pavement marks an important turning point, affirming that the project's construction progress is guaranteed after many months of focusing on site clearance and weak ground treatment.

“From now until November 20, Truong Son contractor will complete the construction of 4-layer crushed stone pavement from the intersection of National Highway 91 to km2+00, including the branch connecting N1 and N2 with National Highway 91. It is expected that on November 25, this 2 km of asphalt pavement and the branch connecting N1 and N2 with National Highway 91 will be carried out as committed to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee,” said Lieutenant Colonel Le Xuan Dai. According to Lieutenant Colonel Le Xuan Dai, it is expected that on December 19, Truong Son contractor will open to traffic the 2 branches connecting N1 and N2 with National Highway 91 and 2 km of asphalt pavement from the intersection of National Highway 91 to km2+00. The remaining sections constructed by Truong Son contractor are expected to be opened to traffic on crushed stone pavement with a length of about 17 km.

The first layer of crushed stone was constructed on the highway, marking the transition to the construction phase of the roadbed and surface.

Currently, at the construction site of the first section of the expressway at the intersection with National Highway 91 (in Vinh Te ward), Truong Son contractor is mobilizing the maximum number of specialized construction equipment such as stone spreaders, vibratory rollers, water tankers, etc. to spread, level, and compact the crushed stone layer, ensuring the correct technical process and progress. At the same time, Truong Son contractor also mobilized over 200 workers, 79 construction equipment such as bulldozers, excavators, and in-line soil transport vehicles to urgently construct the remaining sections. Currently, Truong Son contractor is also urgently gathering sand and stone to the construction leader to construct the roadbed; construct weak soil treatment items, construct underpasses, and produce median strip components.

Currently, the progress of 4 expressway construction packages through An Giang province is quite stable. Packages 42, 44 and 45 are ahead of schedule by 0.03% to 1.02%. With packages 43, 44 and 45, contractors are also actively implementing sand filling, compacting the main roadbed, branch roads at intersections, loading and treating weak soil, manufacturing median strip components, producing barbed wire fences... with stable progress.

As of October 8, sand suppliers have provided the Expressway Project through An Giang province with over 6.93 million m3 of sand out of the total volume of 9.32 million m3 of sand needed for the project, not including the volume for resettlement areas, residential roads and Km38 intersection... Currently, the source of stone materials supplied for the Expressway Project through An Giang province is about 494,888 m3 out of the total demand of over 1.17 million m3.

In order to ensure the construction progress of the expressway component 1 project through An Giang in accordance with the direction of the Prime Minister and the Provincial People's Committee, the An Giang Provincial Project Management Board also requested relevant departments and branches to continue to advise and propose to the Provincial People's Committee to consider arranging additional sources of sand and stone with appropriate exploitation capacity, promptly meeting the material needs for construction, limiting the impact on the overall progress of the project.
