According to the pilot plan approved by the city, the pedestrian street will be located on the extended Bach Dang road (the section from the Dragon Bridge area to the Tran Thi Ly Bridge, with a length of 1.2km). The Bach Dang pedestrian street project is scheduled to be implemented from now until the end of 2028.
The Bach Dang pedestrian street operates from 3 PM to midnight every day of the week; after this time, all activities and services on the street cease, cleaning is carried out, and the area is restored to its original condition. The pedestrian street has 3 clusters of mobile vending kiosks with 12 kiosks along the entire eastern sidewalk of Bach Dang Street.
The kiosks will use 20-foot containers (6m long, 2.5m wide) and will be invested in and decorated by the business owners themselves. At the same time, there will be 5 clusters of mobile vending carts with 15 carts on the east lane of Bach Dang Street, interspersed with the kiosks.
Regarding traffic management when the pedestrian street is operational, the city will use one lane on the east side of Bach Dang Street on weekdays, while the remaining three lanes will be one-way, with signs indicating a speed limit of 40km/h during certain hours and restrictions on motorized vehicles during certain times.
Once operational, Bach Dang Pedestrian Street will host musical and artistic performances, festivals, events, and street art activities. Notably, the pedestrian route will connect with the pedestrian route across Nguyen Van Troi Bridge and Tran Hung Dao Street, as well as across Dragon Bridge, becoming a key tourist attraction for locals and visitors to Da Nang city.
