Ba Son Bridge - 'The Guitar of Light' in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City

The Ba Son Bridge not only serves as a crucial link between the central District 1 and the new Thu Thiem urban area (Thu Duc City), but also makes a strong impression with its modern, unique design and dazzling artistic lighting system, becoming a new architectural symbol of Ho Chi Minh City.

The Ba Son Bridge has a total length of over 1,400 meters, of which the main bridge section is nearly 900 meters long. It is built as a cable-stayed bridge with inclined towers shaped like dragons reaching out to the Saigon River. This design not only ensures the sustainability of the structure but also reflects the strong upward spirit of a dynamic and modern city.

The Ba Son Bridge plays a crucial role in connecting transportation infrastructure from the center of District 1 to the Thu Thiem urban area in Thu Duc City.

The Ba Son Bridge is a transportation project that has transformed the urban landscape of Ho Chi Minh City.

The bridge's most distinctive feature is its 113-meter-high tower, leaning towards the Thu Thiem urban area like an outstretched arm welcoming development in the eastern part of the city. Its asymmetrical cable-stayed structure, combined with advanced construction technology, allows the bridge to withstand high loads while also creating a unique aesthetic in the heart of a modern metropolis.

More than just a conventional transportation project, the Ba Son Bridge also helps alleviate traffic congestion on already overloaded routes such as Nguyen Huu Canh Street and the Saigon River tunnel, while simultaneously expanding development space between the city center and the Thu Thiem urban area – which is planned to become the new financial and administrative center in the future.

With its well-planned investment and sophisticated design, the Ba Son Bridge is seen as a "gateway to the future," connecting a glorious past with a prosperous future.

One highlight that makes the Ba Son Bridge particularly eye-catching is the modern artistic lighting system installed along its length. Thousands of smart LED lights, capable of changing colors according to different themes and events, create dazzling light shows every time night falls.

The shimmering lights, undulating along the cables and reflecting onto the Saigon River's surface, make the bridge look like a luminous silk ribbon in the heart of the city. Many locals liken the Ba Son Bridge to a "musical instrument of light," where colors move in rhythm with the urban landscape, contributing to a romantic and modern cityscape.
