Due to the unique construction requirements, which involve ensuring train safety while construction is underway, the contractor has focused on a phased approach. Because the project depends on the train schedule, each section is completed simultaneously to ensure it is ready for operation and maintains the designed speed.

Currently, the upgrade and expansion projects for Song Than and Di An stations are being urgently implemented.

Upon completion, the project will ensure traffic safety, improve the quality of railway infrastructure, and enhance the capacity for transporting passengers and goods.
