Ho Chi Minh City held a ceremony to inaugurate the Thu Thiem 2 Bridge crossing the Saigon River, connecting District 1 with Thu Thiem New Urban Area in Thu Duc City on the morning of April 28.
Thu Thiem 2 Bridge crossing the Saigon River, connecting the city center on the side of District 1 to the Thu Thiem New Urban Area on the side of Thu Duc City, was officially opened to traffic on the morning of April 28 to serve travel needs of citizens on the occasion of the upcoming holiday of the Reunification Day.
Many provinces and cities across the country have been speeding up the construction of major traffic works in the last year of implementing the 12th National Party Congress’ resolution, contributing to the country’s development achievements in the phase of 2015-2020.
Construction of Thu Thiem 2 Bridge has reached Saigon river bank in District 1 but got stuck with 11,114.8 square meters of defense land under management by Ba Son Corporation, according to a source from HCMC People’s Committee on February 14.
The Department of Transport in Ho Chi Minh City yesterday said that it has petitioned to the People’s Committee and relating agencies to help speed up compensation and site clearance work of Thu Thiem 2 Bridge to hand over the vacant land to Dai Quang Minh Real Estate Investment Company.
