Da Nang has ordered faster work to put overhead lines underground on Phan Châu Trinh and Lê Lợi streets, with a year-end deadline for the power cables, according to the city's October 16 summary of leadership directives.
In Official Letter 10649/UBND-BQL, Vice Chairman Lê Quang Nam told Da Nang Power Company to mobilize workers and equipment and to submit a detailed construction plan for both streets. The power work must be finished before December 31, 2026, the date set in Decision 2532/QĐ-UBND of November 11, 2024. Telecom cables must be moved underground before November 20, 2026, and the Department of Science and Technology is to press the telecom operators to meet that date.
The Department of Industry and Trade leads the effort, working with the Priority Infrastructure Projects Management Board.
Why it matters
Putting cables underground normally means digging along the pavement or road edge until the work is finished, so people living and trading on both streets have a reason to follow the schedule. The summary does not say how much of the work is done, which sections will be dug next, or whether traffic will be changed. Those details would help residents and shops along the two streets plan.
