At 5:20 a.m., a convoy of tugboats started moving of the steel arch structure from the temporary port at Dai Dung Company in the Dong Xuyen Industrial Zone. The convoy heads toward Bach Dang Wharf, where the pedestrian bridge spanning the Saigon River is currently under construction.
The transport route takes the convoy along the Dinh River, out to the open sea, through the Soai Rap estuary, and finally up the shipping channel into the Saigon River to reach the construction site.
The transit distance spans around 124 km and is expected to take nearly two days to complete. The first leg of the journey covers about 80 km to Can Gio, where the convoy will pause and anchor overnight before continuing to the city center on Monday morning.
