Prior to the commencement of construction, a relatively expensive land acquisition phase had to be conducted; there were a large number of buildings that fell directly in the path of the viaduct. Further difficulties were presented by the ground itself; due to the presence of earlier mining activities, the soil's stability had been negatively affected in some areas.
Before building began, a costly land acquisition process was undertaken; numerous structures blocked the viaduct's route. Moreover, the ground itself posed problems due to earlier mining activities, which had weakened some areas' soil stability.
