(NLDO) - Ba Hom Bridge and Duong Quang Ham Street Phase 1 officially opened to traffic, helping to reduce congestion and improve traffic.
Two major projects in Binh Tan and Go Vap districts, including Ba Hom bridge and phase 1 of Duong Quang Ham street, have officially opened to traffic, marking an important step forward in improving urban traffic in Ho Chi Minh City.
Ba Hom Bridge officially reached the finish line on the morning of January 27
According to the morning of January 27 (28th of Lunar New Year), the items of Ba Hom Bridge have been completed, allowing traffic to circulate from the afternoon of January 26. According to the Management Board of Investment and Construction of Traffic Works of Ho Chi Minh City (Traffic Board), this is a key project to solve the congestion situation in the western gateway area of the city, forming a traffic axis between National Highway 1 and the city center . Ba Hom Bridge is located on Provincial Road 10, connecting National Highway 1, Mien Tay bus station and industrial parks.
The project has a total investment of 374 billion VND, including 142 billion VND for construction, 183 billion VND for compensation, resettlement and relocation of technical infrastructure, to replace the old degraded bridge. The bridge has a total length of 425 m, including a 93 m long bridge section, a 24.5 m cross-section for 4 lanes, and a 332 m long approach road, a 40 m cross-section. The project also includes a concrete embankment system, drainage, trees, lighting and synchronous traffic organization, serving travel needs, reducing congestion during rush hours and improving traffic safety.
In Go Vap district, the project to expand and upgrade Duong Quang Ham street, from Binh Thanh district to the cultural park, has also reached an important milestone with phase 1 officially opening to traffic on the afternoon of January 26. The total length of the road is 2,455 m, 32 m wide, with a construction investment of more than 381 billion VND.
Phase 1 includes two completed and paved sections, including the 520-meter section from Luong Ngoc Quyen Street to Nguyen Viet Xuan Primary School and the 295-meter section from An Nhon Cultural House to Nguyen Van Luong Street.
The 1,640 m section from Nguyen Viet Xuan Primary School to An Nhon Cultural House has been completed to widen the right side of the route, but because the undergrounding and relocation of electric poles has not been completed (expected by April 30, 2025), the row of electric poles is still located between the existing road and the widened road. To ensure safety, the electric poles have been fenced, painted with warnings and installed with flashing lights, and a temporary traffic organization plan has been established.
People living near the projects expressed excitement as the works not only reduce traffic congestion but also ensure safety, especially at night or during heavy rain.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hai, 58 years old, living near Ba Hom bridge, shared: "For more than ten years, during rush hour, the old bridge was congested, vehicles were crowded to the point of suffocation. Now that there is a new bridge, spacious and airy like this, people are very happy! This is truly a big Tet for us."
Both projects are invested from the city budget, not only helping to improve traffic but also contributing to a series of events welcoming the city during the Lunar New Year.
