According to the Management Board of Traffic Construction Investment Projects of Tuyen Quang Province (Project Investor), as of September 30, package 24 of IC9 intersection construction has completed 100% of the contract value, the remaining 7 packages have reached 18 - 90%. The total value of completed construction and installation is estimated at 1,251.6 billion VND, reaching 68.4% of the contract value. Photo: Nguyen Tung.

According to the project investor, the unit is urging contractors to speed up progress to complete the expressway in 2023. However, some current bid packages have not kept up with the contract progress, due to the prolonged rainy days in 2023 affecting construction. Meanwhile, 800 billion VND of central budget capital to complete phase 2 of the project in 2023 has not yet been arranged. Photo: Nguyen Tung.
