The Saigon River Pedestrian Bridge Project is built according to the city's approved policies, plans, and designs with a total estimated funding of about 1,000 billion VND.

The bridge is 500m long, starting from Ben Bach Dang 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 form, expected to attract people and tourists to Ho Chi Minh City.

According to the City Department of Transport, the Saigon River pedestrian bridge project is the largest project in the country ever funded by a business.

The project is designed to withstand level 7 earthquakes, gusts of wind, and vibrations when crowds gather...

In addition to serving pedestrians, the pedestrian bridge also has lanes for bicycles and people with disabilities. In case of emergency, the bridge is also designed to allow ambulances to pass.
