Work begins on Ben Thuy 2 Bridge final span

Nhan Dan – Project Management Unit 85 (PMU85), under the Ministry of Transport and Civil Engineering Construction Corporation No. 4 (Cienco 4), held a ground-breaking ceremony yesterday for construction of the final span of Ben Thuy 2 Bridge, linking the two central provinces of Nghe An and Ha Tinh on National Highway No. 1A.

The 2,941 metre long, 25 metre wide bridge has a main span that measures 996 metres long.

Construction of the bridge over the Lam River started in March 2010 with a total investment of VND1.26 trillion (US$60.5 million) sourced from Government bonds.

So far, 84% of the workload has been completed and the bridge is scheduled to open to traffic by National Day, September 2, this year.

As one of the key national transport projects, the bridge is expected to ease the load over the downgraded Ben Thuy 1 Bridge, improve the transport capacity of National Highway No. 1A, and contribute to socio-economic development in the two provinces, as well as the entire central region.
