Ho Chi Minh City: Starting the project of dredging Da Do canal

This is a key project that was started to welcome the Congress of Delegates of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee.

On the morning of October 10, the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Project Management Board held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Da Do canal dredging project (from Nguyen Hoang street to Saigon river), located in An Khanh ward and Binh Trung ward.

The project has a total investment of more than 86.7 billion VND from the city budget, aiming to improve the drainage system, beautify the urban landscape and enhance the quality of technical infrastructure in the area.

This is a key project that was started to welcome the 1st Congress of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, term 2025-2030.

According to Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Infrastructure Project Management Board Nguyen Hoang Anh Dung, the project has a total dredging length of 1,760m, the canal bottom width is from 15-22.5m, and the average depth is about 1m.

The project, when completed, is expected to contribute to solving the flooding problem and creating a new look for the eastern area of Ho Chi Minh City.

Along both banks of the canal, a 1,570m long embankment will be built, a reinforced concrete drainage system will be installed, and two underground sewers with diameters of D1200mm and D1000mm will be installed.

In addition to improving drainage and reducing flooding, the project also builds canal-side walkways, plants trees, installs public lighting systems and renovates the urban landscape – aiming at the goal of sustainable, environmentally friendly urban development, improving the quality of life for people.

“This is a project of special significance, so the unit has proactively coordinated with departments and branches to speed up legal procedures, carefully prepare documents, design and select contractors according to regulations,” said Mr. Nguyen Hoang Anh Dung.

The project, when completed, is expected to contribute to solving the flooding problem, creating a new look for the eastern area of Ho Chi Minh City and enhancing the urban value along the Saigon River.
