HCMC – HCMC authorities have just imposed an administrative fine of VND222 million on Construction Corporation No. 1 (CC1) for breaching construction rules in a road project linking Thu Thiem Bridge and the East-West Highway.

CC1 as the main contractor of the road project was fined for multiple violations such as using unqualified steel components in construction, employing unqualified supervisors, and failing to buy insurance for its five consultancy packages among others, according to a decision issued by the city government.

Besides heavy fines on CC1, the city government has also asked the corporation to promptly repair its violations in accordance with the construction regulations for ensuring the road quality.

Early this week, the Ministry of Transport also announced the administrative penalty decision on CC1.

The road linking Thu Thiem Bridge and the East-West Highway stretches 900 meters with a width of 25 meters. Construction on the project started early this year and has neared completion by now.

However, vehicles could hardly travel through the linking road because the construction of a road section on the East-West Highway has not yet been finished, according to an official of the city’s Department of Transport.
