In the past decade, overpasses with steel girders have helped HCMC tackle chronic gridlocks at nine major intersections. It's planning many more.

 

It was in 2012 that lightweight overpasses were put on the table for discussion as traffic congestion became a gravely serious problem at the Thu Duc Intersection in the then Thu Duc District (now part of Thu Duc City) and the Hang Xanh Intersection in Binh Thanh District.

 

Built with steel girders, lightweight overpasses have a shorter lifespan yet cost less and take less time to build compared to those with concrete girders. When needed, the overpass can be disassembled and moved to other places.
