At 9:30 a.m. on July 16, after completing the installation of explosives, Song Da 10 Joint Stock Company proceeded to detonate the mines, demolish the last blocks of rock, and officially opened the Deo Ngang tunnel through the Hoanh Son mountain range.
The blasting of the Deo Ngang tunnel took place in the correct order and safely. When the construction site was safe, workers, excavators and trucks quickly moved into the tunnel to clear and transport soil and rock out.
