Minister of Transport Truong Quang Nghia, during an inspection on Sunday, said the new Ghenh Bridge across the Dong Nai River in Dong Nai province would help the railway sector rebound after its recent decline.
Nghia said the number of railway passengers had sharply fallen due to the collapse of the Ghenh Bridge on March 20 which disrupted north-south train services.
Doi Sy Hung, deputy general director of Vietnam Railways, said the bridge would open to traffic on June 30.
Nguyen Duy Thang, deputy general director of Civil Engineering Construction Corporation No.1 (Cienco 1), the contractor, said that some of the construction had been completed ahead of schedule.
Nghĩa said that, initially, the project was scheduled to be completed by July 15, but the investor and builder had made efforts to finish it earlier.
He asked the investor, Vietnam Railways Corporation, to closely supervise labour safety and construction quality.
