On the morning of December 9th, contractors mobilized vehicles and workers to lay asphalt concrete on several sections of the Rach Mieu 2 bridge project.

According to the My Thuan Project Management Board, this is the first asphalt concrete paving section in package XL-05 for the Ben Tre side of the road. Following this, inspection and evaluation will be conducted according to regulations; if satisfactory, mass paving will be carried out.

Currently, the overall progress of the Rach Mieu 2 bridge project has reached over 71%, 0.49% ahead of schedule. The main cable-stayed bridge section of Rach Mieu 2 is more than 16% ahead of schedule.

Asphalt concrete paving is being applied to some sections of the Rach Mieu 2 bridge project on the Ben Tre side.

Specifically, three bridges have been completed: My Tho, Tam Son, and Ba Lai bridges. Three more bridges are currently under construction: Xoai Hot, Rach Mieu 2, and Song Ma bridges.

Of these, the contractors are striving to essentially complete the Xoai Hot and Song Ma bridges in 2024.

Regarding the main section of the Rach Mieu 2 cable-stayed bridge, on October 24th, 100% of the P19 and P20 tower piers were completed. The bridge deck has been completed up to K5, with 14 girder sections at the P19 and P20 cable-stayed piers.

In addition, the contractor has installed and pulled the stay cables for the K6 girder block, completing 56 out of 112 cable bundles, and is currently installing the reinforcement for the K6 girder block.

Currently, the construction units are seriously implementing the "3 shifts, 4 teams" construction method, with 32 teams and 147 pieces of equipment, along with nearly 600 technical staff and workers.
