The Lang Cha Ca roundabout gets a 'new look'.

The renovation project of the Lang Cha Ca roundabout, giving it a "new look" with the Lac bird symbol, has been completed and put into use on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Ho Chi Minh City being named after President Ho Chi Minh.

On the first day of July, the construction site for the renovation of the Lang Cha Ca roundabout (Tan Son Nhat ward, Ho Chi Minh City) was still brightly lit. Workers began their night shift, racing against time to bring the project to completion.

To ensure progress, construction is organized continuously in 3 shifts, 4 teams. Work teams take turns working day and night, simultaneously implementing multiple tasks in the roundabout area.

A team of workers meticulously paints the surface of the gray-white sphere, the focal point of the central symbol. Each layer of paint is carefully applied to ensure durability and aesthetic appeal before the project is completed.

Alongside the installation of the emblem, construction teams are urgently completing the electrical system, artistic lighting, and technical infrastructure around the roundabout. Many other workers are completing the structural work, tightening connections, and checking every detail of the emblem before final acceptance.

Elsewhere, engineers and workers install and adjust the drivetrain system inside the emblem. The work is done carefully to ensure the system operates as designed.

According to the design, the Lang Cha Ca roundabout is being renovated in conjunction with new landscaping, lighting, and central landmarks. The highlight of the project is a 5-meter-diameter stainless steel sphere placed on a 1.5-meter-high pedestal, with a gray-white painted surface. Both sides of the sphere are adorned with reliefs of Lac birds made of copper-plated stainless steel, and the spiral base evokes the image of a bird spreading its wings in flight.

The image of the mythical Lac bird is inspired by the patterns on the Dong Son bronze drums, symbolizing aspiration, vitality, and national cultural identity. This will be the new symbol replacing the globe that has been associated with this region for many years.
