Hai Van Tunnel (Vietnam) reaches halfway point

Date: January 16, 2003

Just 2 years after ground was first broken on the Hai Van Pass Tunnel, the project has passed the halfway mark, with 52% of construction work completed by late 2002.

At the south end of the tunnel, a Vietnamese/South Korean joint venture has completed 1,700 meters of the main tunnel and 1,750 meters of the emergency tunnel.

At the north end a Vietnamese/Japanese joint venture has finished 2,050 meters of the main tunnel and 2,030 meters of the emergency tunnel.

The contractors have also completed 90% of the ventilation shaft.

The 12.18KM Hai Van Pass Tunnel will connect LangCo in Thua Thien-Hue province with DaNang.

LangCo has a beautiful resort built on a spit of sand with ‘tropical’ resort houses built on it. It is truly special. The tunnel will eliminate the treacherous section of Highway No. 1 that dates from the American War
