To limit the impact on traffic on Hanoi Highway and Vo Nguyen Giap Street, the contractor will carry out the construction of the girder from midnight to 4 pm every Friday and Saturday night. At the same time, the contractor will develop a plan to ensure traffic safety and coordinate with the traffic police to organize traffic flow below to avoid congestion at the gateway.
Hanoi Highway was diverted for 4 hours so that the contractor could install an 80m long pedestrian bridge connecting the High-Tech Park station of the Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien metro.

The right branch of the pedestrian bridge connecting the High-Tech Park station is about 80m long, crossing Hanoi Highway, divided into three spans (32m, 26m and 22m). Each span consists of two girders, with a load capacity of 46 - 75 tons. The contractor will install the bridge girders after completing the construction of the underlying structures such as bored piles, pillars, etc. It is expected that the installation of the pedestrian bridge girders will be completed on November 6, followed by the installation of the roof, construction of the bridge deck, signs, etc.

According to information from the contractor, the bridges are built to connect the passenger transfer floors of the elevated stations with residential areas and bus stations along the sides. One side of the bridge crosses the left parallel road of Hanoi Highway (from Saigon Bridge to Suoi Tien). On the other side, the bridge crosses the highway and the right parallel road, helping passengers safely enter and exit the station without having to cross the road. In addition to helping passengers travel conveniently, the project also serves as an emergency exit in case of an accident at the station.
After the pedestrian bridge connecting the High-Tech Park station, in December, the contractor will continue to construct the pedestrian bridge girder at Binh Thai station. Some other bridges connecting Phuoc Long, Rach Chiec, and Tan Cang stations are expected to be installed in January and February 2024.
Metro Line No. 1 (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien Metro Line) has a total length of 19.7 km, including 2.6 km underground and 17.1 km elevated with 14 stations, 3 underground stations and 11 elevated stations. The total investment after adjustment is 43,700 billion VND. The project has a route passing through districts 1, 2, 9, Binh Thanh, Thu Duc City (HCMC) and Di An (Binh Duong), expected to be put into commercial operation in the second quarter of 2024.
