The pedestrian bridge is built between Ba Son Bridge and Saigon River Tunnel (District 1 side is located in Bach Dang Park area; Thu Duc City side connects at the Central Square of Thu Thiem New Urban Area).
The architectural design bears the image of water coconut leaves - a typical image of the South. The project is expected to be one of the new symbols of Ho Chi Minh City, serving the people and tourists when they come to visit, travel and work.
