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.
The initial phase involved purchasing expensive land before construction started, as many buildings stood in the way of the viaduct. Additionally, the terrain presented challenges, especially in regions where previous mining operations had damaged the soil's stability.
