BINH LOI BRIDGE

Binh Loi Bridge is the largest and most beautiful arch bridge in Saigon.

Binh Loi Bridge is located on Pham Van Dong Boulevard, Ho Chi Minh City, crossing the Saigon River and connecting the banks of Binh Thanh District with Thu Duc City.

The project has the western end in Ward 13, Binh Thanh district, and the eastern end in Hiep Binh Chanh ward, Thu Duc City. This construction accounts for most of the traffic compared to other bridges that also cross the Saigon River. This project was officially kicked off on June 9, 2008. After 5 years, the work was completed on September 28, 2013. The main highlight of the bridge is the Nielsen arch with a height of 35m, a width of 28m, and a length of 150m made from 3,000 tons of steel plate in 8 months in Korea. The arch has the most advanced technical structure in the current bridge works.
