Binh Phuoc 1 Bridge has been raised nearly 20cm using hydraulic jacking technology.

After more than a week of implementation, engineers and workers of the "genie" team raised Binh Phuoc 1 bridge (on Do Muoi street, across Saigon river, Ho Chi Minh city) by nearly 20cm using synchronous hydraulic jacking technology.

On October 27, according to the reporter of Tin Tuc and Dan Toc Newspaper, engineers operated a central computer control system on the bridge surface, connected via a hydraulic pipe system and signal wires, helping to precisely coordinate the height of each jacking column with an error of less than 1mm.

According to the design, the entire bridge structure, 480m long and 11m wider, will be raised by 1.25m compared to its current state, achieving a clearance of 7m according to waterway standards.

After more than 1 week of implementation, engineers and workers of the "genie" team raised Binh Phuoc 1 bridge nearly 20cm using synchronous hydraulic jacking technology.

During the lifting process, motorbikes are allowed to circulate normally, while cars are redirected to Binh Phuoc 2 bridge. Currently, the construction site has about 100 engineers and workers working continuously to ensure progress and safety.

Engineers operate a central computer control system on the bridge deck, connected via a system of hydraulic pipes and signal wires, helping to precisely coordinate the height of each jack with an error of less than 1mm.

The project to raise the clearance of Binh Phuoc 1 bridge is invested by the Road Traffic Infrastructure Management Center ( Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction), aiming to meet navigation requirements and ensure the planning of inland waterway routes on the Saigon River. The project has a total investment of nearly 111 billion VND, expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

During the lifting process, two temporary iron bridges were erected on both sides of the main bridge to allow motorbikes to pass.

Cars are redirected to Binh Phuoc 2 bridge.

According to the design, the entire bridge structure, 480m long and 11m wider, will be raised by 1.25m compared to its current state, achieving a clearance of 7m according to waterway standards. The bridge lifting will be performed using a synchronous hydraulic jacking system, controlling the deviation to less than 1mm to ensure absolute accuracy and safety. At the same time, bored piles will be added to the bridge foundation and abutments to increase load-bearing capacity.

The position of the bridge abutment and the road surface has a difference of about 20cm after one week of implementation.

Binh Phuoc 1 Bridge was put into operation in 2003, connecting An Phu Dong ward with Hiep Binh Phuoc ward (Ho Chi Minh City). The upgrading of the project not only helps improve waterway traffic connections on the Saigon River but also contributes to reducing pressure on the road route through this area.

Traffic congestion lasted for many kilometers on Do Muoi Street during rush hour when passing through the construction area of ​​Binh Phuoc 1 bridge.
