Construction of a 1,200 billion VND cable-stayed bridge in Nam Dinh continued overnight

The project to build a bridge over the Dao River has a total investment of 1,200 billion VND; the length is 1.6km including the approach road, of which the bridge over the river is about 0.8km long, with a cross-section of 20.5m. The bridge is designed with 16 spans, with a scale of 4 lanes for motor vehicles and 2 lanes for rudimentary vehicles. The cable-stayed system consists of 2 reinforced concrete towers 31.5m high, simulating the shape of a lotus bud, each side is arranged with 9 symmetrical cable-stayed bundles.

These days, at the construction site of the bridge project from Song Hao Street to Vu Huu Loi Street, workers are working hard through the night to prepare for the closing and bring the project to completion on time.

The work of installing the formwork of the main span is being urgently completed. After the completion, the contractor will complete the railing, asphalt pavement, lighting system, etc.

Mr. Luong Xuan Tuong (worker, from Nghe An) shared: "Working day or night is hard, but everyone encourages each other to try their best and is determined to contribute to bringing the project to the finish line on time."

Previously, the contractor mobilized maximum manpower to construct major items of the bridge and approach roads.

Workers are busy constructing the prestressed cable tensioning project.

The final beam segments in preparation for the main span closures have been completed.

Mr. Pham Van Hiep, Deputy Project Manager, said: “To ensure progress, during peak times, we mobilized more than 300 workers to work continuously, divided into “3 shifts” and “4 shifts”. In which, the night shift lasted from 6pm to 6am the next day. All construction items were strictly inspected to both speed up progress and meet technical standards and absolutely ensure labor safety.

Currently, the project progress has reached more than 90% of the volume. We are focusing on completing the remaining work to prepare for the closing. It is expected that the bridge will be completed and put into operation in March 2025.

The bridge over the Dao River, when completed, will become an architectural highlight of Nam Dinh City, completing the city's traffic network, increasing the ability to connect southern districts with Nam Dinh City, ensuring traffic safety, better meeting the needs of freight transport and travel of people, thereby contributing to local socio-economic development.
