According to Nutifood, when learning about the policy of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee on building a pedestrian bridge across the Saigon River, an important location not only of economic and cultural value but also associated with many historical events, Nutifood decided to join hands and propose financial support for this project.
Mr. Tran Bao Minh, Vice Chairman of Nutifood's Board of Directors, said that Nutifood's brilliant achievements today are thanks to the support and trust of millions of consumers over the past two decades.
Grateful for that, since its establishment, every year Nutifood has always set aside a large budget to express gratitude for the affection received, supporting the building of a better community.
"We cherish the intention of contributing something truly meaningful, of timeless value, symbolic of Ho Chi Minh City for millions of people to enjoy in 10, 20 years and more, instead of just doing individual gratitude programs.
To focus on this project, we have determined that we will have to tighten our belts for a few years, cutting down on unnecessary expenses. Although this is a very large budget, especially in the current difficult economic context, we are still determined to do it because of the long-term significance that the bridge brings,” said Mr. Minh.
This bridge has a total investment of over 1,000 billion VND.
Regarding the pedestrian bridge project across the Saigon River, since 2019, Ho Chi Minh City has organized a selection of architectural design options for this project.
In October 2023, the competition results were announced. The selected design has the image of a water coconut leaf by the joint venture Chodai - Takashi Niwa Architects and Chodai Kisojiban Vietnam. The design of the pedestrian bridge across the Saigon River is unique, impressive, non-duplicated, and simple.
This bridge has a total investment of over 1,000 billion VND. The project is expected to officially start construction on April 30, 2025 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of national reunification.
The completed project will be accepted and transferred by the enterprise to Ho Chi Minh City for management and exploitation for public purposes and community benefits.
