Aside from nearly 30 roads already upgraded, two important transport facilities which are a new terminal of Da Nang International Airport and a tunnel in the west of the Han River Bridge have been put into use.
The construction of another tunnel under Dien Bien Phu and Nguyen Tri Phuong streets is being accelerated.
Da Nang has also given a facelift to 28 streets, built and repaired public toilets, placed an additional 167 street dustbins, and added ornamental plants along tourist roads.
The Da Nang Water Supply Company said it also finished upgrading water supply infrastructure to serve the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week.
The preparation of other structures is also being speeded up to ensure they are completed on schedule.
Nguyen Minh Vu, Standing Vice Chairman of the APEC 2017 National Secretariat, said the hosting of the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week will help popularise Da Nang as a city of marine and MICE tourism. It will also help improve local officials’ and residents’ integration capacity and expand the city’s external relations.
