The Noi Bai - Lao Cai Expressway expansion project is preparing to assemble and cast the deck slab for the Ngòi Bục Bridge, at Km150 in Mau A commune. The bridge comprises six spans and two piers, with a total length of nearly 200 meters. On April 10, the Ngòi Bục Bridge construction site, part of the Noi Bai - Lao Cai expansion project, at Km150 in Mau A commune, was marked by a tense construction atmosphere. A clip shows the construction process at Ngòi Bục Bridge on Km150 of the expansion project. Under temperatures reaching up to 37°C, workers continued to race against time to meet the schedule. Vu Van Tuan, a foreman from Hung Yen who leads the Ngòi Bục Bridge construction crew, said that to complete the connections of the spans before the rainy season, the team leverages sunny days to work around the clock, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., with overtime from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. to ensure progress. People say this is an important job and a source of national pride to work on a national key project, the foreman added. Engineer Tran Ngoc Duong noted that the current package from Km142 to Km152 employs about 200 workers and staff, with more than 60 machines operating in a three-shift, four-team arrangement to perform the assigned tasks. The unit is finalizing the pouring of pedestal foundations and piers for Pier 6. Once the structure stabilizes, the plan is to install the girder system; the deck formwork has already been cast for spans 2, 3, and 4 at the midpoint of the Ngòi Bục stream. The contractor is pursuing a wrap-up approach, completing sections as they are ready—first stabilizing the lower piers before the rainy season, then casting girders, hoisting girders, and installing deck formwork at the middle spans before the rainy season. The remaining two piers and two abutments will be carried out in parallel according to the schedule, Duong added. North Expressways Project Management Board Deputy Director Tran Ngoc Hai, under the Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC), said: After more than five months of implementation, the Noi Bai - Lao Cai expansion project has surpassed 40% of the total volume. The roadbase works are largely complete (except for culverts and bridge over rivers). The roadbase has been overlaid with cement-stabilized crushed stone, and for the XL1-NBLC package from Km 123+080 to Km 190+420, the contractor has laid asphalt concrete. Many straight sections have been paved with the first asphalt layer, and bridges, culverts, slopes, and drainage systems are being completed day by day.

Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
