The HC2 branch of the Nguyen Van Linh-Nguyen Huu Tho intersection tunnel opened to traffic on October 4.
On the construction site, more than 120 officers, engineers, and workers and 37 machines and equipment have been mobilized to relentlessly carry out the Nguyen Van Linh-Nguyen Huu Tho intersection tunnel project. In particular, engineers and workers are divided into groups to take turns working in three shifts to speed up the construction progress of some items and soon complete the project as per the direction of the Party Committee and the People's Committee of the city.
