The entire project has 1,177 column foundation locations and 513 anchorage spaces.

The project construction process encountered many difficulties due to the large amount of work, equipment, and techniques, some materials had to be imported, which took time, required a large amount of human resources, and had to be carried out in adverse weather conditions, especially due to intense heat or thunderstorms, and had to be carried out through complex terrain in localities known as “rain bags” or “fire pans”…

To have land to implement the project, about 1.83 million m2 of land was reclaimed and cleared, spanning 9 provinces; support, resettlement, and production stabilization for 167 relocated households and 5,248 affected households.

The 500kV line 3 project from Quang Trach to Pho Noi is of particular importance in improving the transmission capacity of the national power system. The completion of the project will help increase the power transmission capacity from the Central region to the North from 2,200 MW to 5,000 MW to solve the urgent and difficult problem of power supply for the North.

The power line passing through Hai Duong province is nearly 31km long, including 74 pole foundation locations through Ninh Giang, Gia Loc, Thanh Mien and Binh Giang districts. To serve the project construction, Hai Duong has cleared up to 6.8 hectares of land, affecting 270 households. In December 2023, the province completed the handover of 100% of the pole foot locations and by April 2024, it had completed the handover of 28/28 anchorage spaces to the construction units... During the nearly 8 months of construction, 6 contractors participated in the construction and installation, 4 contractors manufactured and supplied steel poles, 5 contractors supplied ceramic wire accessories, and thousands of workers on the construction site received active support from the provincial government to the grassroots level.
