Pedestrian bridge across Saigon River

The project to build a pedestrian bridge across the Saigon River connecting District 1 with Thu Duc City was approved by Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Phan Van Mai and added to the list of key projects of the city.

The bridge is 500m long, starting from Bach Dang wharf park (District 1), the starting point on the Thu Duc City side at the riverside park in Thu Thiem New Urban Area.

The pedestrian bridge is designed in the shape of a water coconut leaf, a very typical leaf of the Southern region. Ho Chi Minh City considers this a unique and impressive architectural style, expected to attract people and tourists to the city.

Recently, Nutifood Company sent a document asking for opinions to the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, the City People's Committee and the Department of Transport about registering the groundbreaking date for the pedestrian bridge across the Saigon River on April 26.

Nguyen Khoi Bridge and Road

In 2016, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council approved the plan to build a bridge on Nguyen Khoi Street across the Te Canal, connecting Districts 7, 4 and 1. The project has a total investment of 1,250 billion VND (later increased to more than 2,800 billion VND due to scale adjustment) to open a new road axis in and out of the central area. However, the project is still on paper due to lack of capital.

By the end of 2023, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council continued to adjust the investment policy of this project, with the total capital increasing to more than VND 3,700 billion due to changes in scale. The project has a total length of nearly 5km, of which the bridge section is about 2.5km, 6.5-25.5m wide; the road section is more than 2.3km long, 26.5-61.5m wide.

The project starts from D1 Street (connecting Saigon University with Nguyen Van Linh Street and Him Lam residential area, District 7), then the main bridge crosses Te Canal by overpass along Nguyen Khoi Street. The bridge continues to cross Ben Nghe Canal, connecting to Vo Van Kiet Street (District 1).

In addition to the main route, the project includes branches connecting to the lower roads of Tran Xuan Soan, Ton That Thuyet and Vo Van Kiet.

When completed, the project will help vehicles run across the 2.5km long bridge from District 7 to District 1 and vice versa. The project will start construction at the end of this year and be completed in 2027.
