At the construction site of the Phu Tho Circus and Multi-Purpose Performing Center project in District 11, around 700 engineers and workers are divided into four crews to take turns working in three shifts to speed up the construction progress. They are making efforts to ensure that the work will be finished on time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of southern liberation and national reunification (April 30, 1975-2025).
