In just a few weeks, the HC1-01 underpass at An Phu intersection will officially open to traffic, helping to reduce congestion and increase traffic connectivity in the eastern part of Ho Chi Minh City. At the construction site, workers are working tirelessly, determined to complete the project on schedule.

Currently, workers are focusing on the construction of the K9 closed tunnel, which is an important item to complete the tunnel structure.
"The HC1-01 underpass has completed more than 90% of its work volume and is expected to be open to traffic before April 30.
