The construction site will operate continuously from the 27th day of the 12th lunar month until the end of the 7th day of the 1st lunar month (including peak days such as the 29th and 1st day of Tet)."

Regarding the technical plan, the contractor will simultaneously deploy three main construction fronts: Front 1: Focusing on completing the railings and thermal expansion joints in the Quan Thu Bridge area; Front 2: Constructing expansion joints, continuous thermal expansion joints, and median strips at Bridge 769; Front 3: Constructing the road section with foundation treatment, focusing on compacting the K98 topsoil layer and laying crushed stone aggregate.

Regarding management personnel, the CC1 Executive Board has deployed a 24/7 on-call team including: 1 Project Director, 1 Site Manager, and 2 Technical Officers to closely monitor the quality of the construction.

In terms of construction capacity, the contractor has mobilized 16 pieces of equipment and a permanent workforce of 22 to 25 people. All preparations have been completed to ensure smooth operation throughout the holiday period.

According to Mr. Lam, the unit's main goal is to proactively accelerate progress and exceed the plan. More importantly, maintaining the work pace throughout the Tet holiday aims to create positive momentum, helping the construction site immediately get back on track and return to normal construction after the holiday ends, avoiding sluggishness after Tet.
