8 railway bridges to be built in June

Eight railways bridges will be built next month by local and Japanese contractors as part of a large-scale project developed by the Vietnam Railway Corporation.
The bridges are part of a project that aims to enhance the capacity and safety of railway transport on the Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh City route at a total investment of 2.471 trillion (US$119.7 million).

The investment will be sourced from Japan’s Official Development Aid (ODA) and the Vietnamese government’s reciprocal capital.

The eight bridges include Cua Rao, Thanh Luyen, Loc Yen, Tan Duc, Khe Net, Do Vang, Minh Le, and Ngan Son, which will be located on the north-south railway system.

The bridges, and a number of related sub-works, will be constructed by a partnership of contractors between a Vietnamese company, Civil Engineering Construction Corporation No. 1 (CIENCO 1), and two Japanese companies, Taisei Construction Company (TAISEI) and Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. (MES).

Upon completion in about 30 months, the bridges will increase transport capacity, improve railway safety, and shorten the travel time of north-south trains. – Tuoitre
