Laying foundation stone for expressway connecting between northern and southern parts of Vietnam
Da Nang–Quang Ngai Expressway Project Package:5, a project with a total extension of 14.5 km, was implemented with the construction cost of approximately KRW 52 billion.
Despite the inferior environment with not even access roads available at the time, we overcame adversity and successfully opened the expressway in 46 months. The Vice Prime Minister of Vietnam and officials from the World Bank attended the expressway opening ceremony.
Through this project, POSCO E&C’s status in Vietnam’s transportation and infrastructure field has been upgraded. We laid a bedrock for an expressway connecting the 2,000 km section between the northern and southern parts of Vietnam. Despite the difficulties caused by the six-month rainy season and shortening of construction period due to a delay in land compensation, we successfully completed the construction works and opened the expressway.
