After more than a year of construction (October 15, 2023), at noon on December 17, Truong Son Construction Investment Joint Stock Company, one of the contractors constructing Dai Ngai 2 Bridge, organized the construction of the bridge girders at the project.

During the construction, many engineers, workers, machines, equipment, etc. were mobilized to support the bridge girders from the bank in An Thanh Tay commune, Cu Lao Dung district (Soc Trang province) extending to the Hau river.

Mr. Tran Phong Vu, commander of Truong Son Construction Investment Joint Stock Company said: "Our unit is responsible for the bridge section on the Hau River bank in An Thanh Tay commune, about 250m long.

We installed a total of 42 beams, each weighing about 80 tons. It is expected that all will be installed by the end of December 2024."

According to the documents, Dai Ngai 2 bridge is 862m long, with a total of 13 spans, with 91 bridge girders (each girder weighs more than 80 tons, nearly 40m long), the main span is 330m long and is constructed in a cantilever structure.

According to information from Project Management Board 85 (Ministry of Transport, investor), the entire Dai Ngai Bridge project (including Dai Ngai 1 and Dai Ngai 2) has so far achieved about 53% of the volume of the bid packages. Of which, Dai Ngai 1 Bridge connecting Tra Vinh province with Soc Trang was started on December 9.
