On July 10, the pedestrian bridge barrier across the Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe canal was officially removed, opening a new connecting road, helping people in the two central districts of Ho Chi Minh City travel conveniently and shorten the distance.

Accordingly, the bridge is more than 2m wide and more than 50m long and has been completed, with a protective railing system and lighting poles on both sides.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Ut - residing in Binh Thanh District (HCMC) said he was very excited when the pedestrian bridge across Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe Canal was put into use.

"Before, when moving through District 1, I had to walk towards Dien Bien Phu Bridge or Thi Nghe Bridge, which took a lot of time. Now with this pedestrian bridge, people and tourists can move back and forth easily, exercise, and admire the most beautiful canal in the city," Mr. Ut shared.

Speaking to VietNamNet reporter , Mr. Bui Quang Thanh - Deputy Director of Southern Power Project Management Board (SPMB) said that this pedestrian bridge connecting Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street (District 1) and Truong Sa Street (Binh Thanh District) cost more than 10 billion VND. After completing the acceptance work, the project will be put into operation to serve the travel needs of the people.

According to Mr. Thanh, this project is part of the overall 220kV Tao Dan - Tan Cang underground cable project, with an investment of more than 500 billion VND. This project is invested by the National Power Transmission Corporation and SPMB is assigned to represent the investor and manage the project.

"Currently, the 220kV Tao Dan - Tan Cang underground cable project has been completed. The pedestrian bridge project across Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe canal, after finalizing costs and acceptance, will be handed over to Ho Chi Minh City for management," Mr. Thanh informed.

Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe Canal is nearly 10km long, starting at the culvert at the intersection of Hoang Sa - Truong Sa - Ut Tich Street (Ward 4, Tan Binh District) and ending at the Saigon River (District 1).

After completing renovation more than 10 years ago, this is the most beautiful canal in Ho Chi Minh City, passing through districts 1, 3, Binh Thanh, Phu Nhuan, Tan Binh.

Currently, there are many large bridges across this canal such as Thi Nghe, Dien Bien Phu, Bong, Hoang Hoa Tham, Cong Ly... In addition, there are some smaller bridges named 1-8 and all allow vehicles to pass.

The most beautiful pedestrian bridge across the inner city canal in Ho Chi Minh City has been completed for a month but is still barricaded.

Ho Chi Minh City residents are eagerly waiting for the pedestrian bridge across the Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe canal, connecting District 1 with Binh Thanh to be put into operation, but the project has been completed for a month and is still blocked off.

The most beautiful inner-city canal in Ho Chi Minh City has a pedestrian bridge connecting two central districts.

The first pedestrian bridge across the Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe canal connecting two central districts of Ho Chi Minh City is being urgently completed before New Year's Day 2024 to help people travel conveniently.

The trillion-dollar pedestrian bridge across the Saigon River is an iconic project left for future generations.

Ho Chi Minh City Chairman Phan Van Mai said that the trillion-dong pedestrian bridge connecting the two banks of the Saigon River, in addition to its pedestrian function, is also a highlight and symbol left for future generations.
