Ho Chi Minh City in general and Thu Thiem Urban Area in particular are gradually perfecting the urban appearance with modern and green constructions. One of the key projects today is the Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge and Saigon Riverside Park, which has reached phase 2 of the project. This is not simply a construction project but also a driving force for socio-economic development, contributing to bringing the city to a new level. Let's explore more about the design and construction progress of the Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge and Saigon Riverside Park with Achieve Realty VN through the article below!
Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge
The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has officially approved the Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge project and is urgently implementing procedures to start construction soon. According to the plan, the project will be completed and put into use on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification, contributing to beautifying the urban landscape and meeting the increasing demand of people for a modern living space.
The Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge is expected to cross the Saigon River, connecting Ben Bach Dang Park (District 1) and the riverside park in the Thu Duc new urban area. On the District 1 side, the foot of the bridge will be located at Ben Bach Dang Park, near Nguyen Hue walking street, creating favorable conditions for people and tourists to access. On the Thu Duc city side, the bridge will connect with the riverside park and the central square of the new urban area, opening up a modern and dynamic living space.
With a prime location, located between Ba Son Bridge and Saigon River Tunnel, Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge will become a unique architectural highlight, connecting the two banks of the river and creating a new living space for city residents. The special highlight of the bridge is the design of the water coconut leaf, a Vietnamese cultural symbol that is both familiar and deeply meaningful. The image of the soft, graceful water coconut leaf, combined with the delicate white color creates a harmonious, elegant whole. This choice shows respect for cultural traditions and creates a unique mark for the project. The pure white color not only enhances the elegant beauty of the bridge but also creates a magical, shimmering space when combined with the modern lighting system, turning Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge into a vibrant work of art at night.
Various activities such as street music festivals, photo exhibitions, yoga, and outdoor cinemas will take place regularly, bringing interesting experiences to residents. In addition, the arrangement of green resting areas, combined with unique architectural highlights such as the observatory, will create an ideal space for relaxation and sightseeing. Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge is not only a destination for city residents but also a new symbol, contributing to enhancing the image of Ho Chi Minh City.
In addition, with the Thu Thiem station of metro line 2 under construction, this pedestrian bridge will become an important traffic junction, conveniently connecting residents with the public transport system. The Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge will contribute to improving the city's traffic system. The construction of the pedestrian bridge will help reduce traffic pressure on surrounding roads, especially during rush hour. At the same time, it will also create a convenient pedestrian route, connecting urban areas and encouraging people to use public transport. With its green design, the Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge is expected to become an ideal public space, contributing to improving air quality, minimizing the greenhouse effect and creating a green, clean and beautiful living environment.
Saigon Riverside Park
With an area of over 20 hectares, Saigon Riverside Park is worthy of being called one of the largest and most modern "green lungs" in Ho Chi Minh City. Stretching along the banks of the Saigon River, the park is not only a cool green space where people can relax and enjoy life, but also a new symbol of a modern city, contributing to improving air quality and reducing environmental pollution in Ho Chi Minh City.
Located in the bustling Thu Thiem new urban area, the riverside park with its huge ecosystem will certainly be an attractive destination for domestic and foreign tourists. The central park with lush green lawns, winding walkways, and multi-purpose playgrounds will be an ideal place for people to relax, exercise, and have fun, or participate in many different activities such as: walking, jogging, cycling, exercising, organizing cultural and artistic events... With a diverse and modern design, optimizing space for cultural and artistic activities, the event area will be the venue for festivals, concerts, exhibitions, and night markets, creating a vibrant and diverse atmosphere for the city. The modern lighting system will create a sparkling space at night, turning the park into an attractive destination.
In addition, the Saigon Riverside Park, invested in and built from social capital, is a testament to the cooperation between businesses and the community in building a civilized, modern city. With a prime location, right next to “luxury” real estate projects, the Saigon Riverside Park will contribute to increasing the value of real estate in the area, attracting investment and developing the economy and society.
In addition, the construction of the Saigon River Park is also an urgent solution to improve air quality and enhance the health of city residents. In the context of increasingly serious environmental pollution, especially the increasing level of dust and smoke, creating a large green space right next to the Saigon River will help reduce pollution, provide fresh air and create favorable conditions for people to participate in physical activities. This becomes even more meaningful when many trees along the roads have been cut down to serve traffic works such as Metro Line 1.
The Saigon Riverside Park project will be implemented according to the following roadmap: First, the project will be submitted to the Standing Committee of the People's Committee and the Thu Duc City Party Committee for approval. After being licensed, the project will be reported to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee for direction and implementation of the following procedures. With capital mobilized from socialization, the project aims to complete construction and put into use before the Lunar New Year of At Ty next year, in order to promptly serve the needs of relaxation and entertainment of the city's residents during the big holiday.
The construction of the Saigon Riverbank Park from Ba Son Bridge to Thu Thiem Bridge is being accelerated at a remarkable speed. Infrastructure items such as leveling the ground, renovating walkways and installing modern lighting systems have been basically completed, opening up a new green space along the river. However, the process of relocating and resettling some households who have long lived in this area has encountered many difficulties, causing a certain impact on the overall progress of the project. However, the construction units are making efforts to coordinate with local authorities to soon resolve the remaining problems, striving to complete the park by the Lunar New Year 2025, promptly bringing a cool green space to serve the relaxation and entertainment needs of the city's residents.

Flower garden
Since its opening in December 2023, the sunflower garden with an area of 5,200 m2 with more than 15,000 flowers has become a favorite destination for people. Currently, the flower garden space has been reduced by half to create a more diverse green space by planting more flowers such as chrysanthemums, roses, and tulips.

Bridge of love
Opened at the end of 2023, Ong Cay Bridge - also known by the romantic name "love bridge" has been renovated and become a new "check-in" spot, giving visitors a beautiful view of the poetic Saigon River and the whole city. With a length of 40m, a width of 5m and a bright red color, Ong Cay Bridge has become an attractive destination for people. The lotus leaf symbol on the 6m high lamp posts shows respect for the traditional culture of the Vietnamese people and is a new symbol representing the development of Thu Duc city in particular and Ho Chi Minh City in general.

In short, with strong and large-scale investment, Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge and Saigon riverside park promise to become a new symbol of the city, contributing to improving the quality of life of the people and attracting investment. In the future, when completed, Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge and Saigon riverside park will become an attractive destination, attracting domestic and foreign tourists, contributing to improving the image of Ho Chi Minh City!
