HCM CITY — A new system of underground cable network will be installed in HCM City's districts 1, 3 and Tan Binh to replace the powerlines and telecom cables interlacing the city streets.
Fifteen streets in districts 1, 3 and Tan Binh are expected to be clear of powerlines and telecom cables, an eyesore of the city for years.
Tran Van Thanh, deputy director of the city Telecommunication Control Agency said the underground work would be completed at the end of this year.
Concerted efforts by relevant authorities including telecommunication, road construction, electricity and urban hygiene will be made to ensure the project schedule, according to the official.
No newly-built pavement will be excavated for the cable underground work.
