Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Phan Van Mai said the bridge will connect the two banks of the Sai Gon River and two urban centers of District 1 and Thu Duc city. The 500m long pedestrian bridge is designed in the shape of a nipa palm leaf.
The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for April 30, 2025, which will mark 50 years of the liberation of the South and the reunification of the country.
