TPO - Main streets in the central area of Ho Chi Minh City have begun to be paved with granite in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the reunification of the country.
According to reporters, in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City, workers are working all day on the weekend to renovate 37 sidewalks with a total cost of over 355 billion VND to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Southern Vietnam and the reunification of the country (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025).
The most notable items include granite paving, renovating curbs, replacing manhole covers, and paving the entrances to the alleys with concrete.
A leader from District 1 stated: The city center welcomes tens of millions of domestic and international tourists every year. The sidewalks have seriously deteriorated. Ho Chi Minh City has repeatedly planned to renovate the sidewalks, but for various reasons, this has only recently become a reality.

Granite slabs, with a lifespan of up to hundreds of years, have appeared on many streets in the central area of Ho Chi Minh City. |
 |
Numerous vehicles and industrial machinery are present on the roads near the Reunification Palace for sidewalk construction. |
 |
Workers are working diligently, even on Sundays. |
 |
It has been a long time since the old streets of Ho Chi Minh City were dug up for renovation. |
 |
The old, cracked, and leaky sidewalks were dismantled. |
 |
Durable granite paving stones have begun to be laid on the sidewalks near Ben Thanh Market. |
 |
The workers said that granite is currently the hardest and most durable construction material. |
 |
The first granite slabs were laid on the streets connecting the Reunification Palace with Ben Thanh Market. This area witnessed fierce battles during the 1968 Tet Offensive, and many urban guerrilla fighters bravely sacrificed their lives. |
 |
The corner of Ly Tu Trong and Nguyen Trung Truc streets is cluttered with machinery and materials. |
 |
Daily life in Ho Chi Minh City continues as usual, and coffee shops remain open. |
 |
A section of the sidewalk is under construction. |

Many districts in Ho Chi Minh City are also implementing sidewalk repair and upgrade projects, including 44 projects in District 4, 32 in Phu Nhuan, 30 in Tan Binh, 23 in District 6, 20 in District 12, 18 in Binh Thanh, 14 in District 10, and 9 in District 5… This is the largest urban beautification campaign ever launched in Ho Chi Minh City.
Ho Chi Minh City is determined to create the most beautiful streets and avenues to welcome domestic and international tourists, veterans, and those who have made contributions to the city named after President Ho Chi Minh during the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and the reunification of the country.
