Accordingly, the city's transport sector is studying two options for building an underpass under Ton Duc Thang Street, near Nguyen Hue Walking Street, with a total investment of VND1,359 - 1,477 billion. The route is expected to be about 2 km long from the foot of Ba Son Bridge (formerly Thu Thiem 2) to Khanh Hoi Bridge.

In which, option one will build a closed tunnel 765 m long, from the location near Ngo Van Nam street, stretching through Me Linh Square, Dong Khoi, Nguyen Hue. The two ends will be open tunnels, one side connects to the approach road to Ba Son bridge, the other side is Khanh Hoi bridge.
The remaining option, a closed tunnel also starts near Ngo Van Nam Street, but only connects to the beginning of Nguyen Hue Street, with a total length of 683 m. The two ends are also made into open tunnels similarly. The total investment for the two options above is estimated at about 1,477 billion VND and 1,359 billion VND, respectively.
These are only preliminary studies according to the planning. The HCM City Department of Transport will carefully calculate the options to ensure the suitability and feasibility of the project.
Ton Duc Thang Street is one of the five oldest avenues in Ho Chi Minh City. The route is located in the center of District 1, about 2 km long, starting at the intersection of Le Duan Street, then running through Ba Son area and curving along Bach Dang wharf park to Khanh Hoi bridge. This route directly connects Nguyen Hue walking street, Me Linh square, Bach Dang wharf, and is also one of the main routes between the central area with District 4 and the South Saigon area.
Recently, after Ben Bach Dang Park was renovated, attracting more and more tourists and locals to visit, Ton Duc Thang Street often experiences traffic congestion, especially on weekend evenings.
Previously, according to the architectural management regulations approved by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee in 2022, the Bach Dang wharf park adjacent to Nguyen Huu Canh Street - Saigon River with an area of 11.96 hectares will reserve the land on Ton Duc Thang Street along the park for walking space and electric cars.

At that time, Ton Duc Thang Street will be underground with 2 lanes in each direction. In addition, there will be an underground parking lot, located about 100m south of Me Linh Square, Ngo Van Nam Street. The entrances and exits of the underground parking lot will have 2 separate lanes, not directly connected to Ton Duc Thang underground road. The Me Linh Square area will build an underground garden in the middle, directly connected to the underground parking lot, with retail stores, cafes, restaurants, etc.
