THU THIEM ROAD TUNNEL - HO CHI MINH CITY

Thu Thiem Tunnel, also known as the Saigon River Tunnel, is an underwater tunnel crossing the Saigon River in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It is a part of the East-West Boulevard Project, connecting District 1 with the Thu Thiem New Urban Area in Thu Duc City.

Thu Thiem Tunnel is the most critical component of the East-West Boulevard Project. In addition to easing the burden on Saigon Bridge, this new route through the tunnel significantly reduces travel time from the city center to both the western and eastern provinces, laying the groundwork for enhanced interprovincial trade. The tunnel plays a major role in completing the transportation network in the eastern part of the city, easing traffic congestion in the city center, and serving as a key driver in the development of Thu Thiem New Urban Area.

The land clearance and compensation for this project were among the largest in Ho Chi Minh City, improving the lives of tens of thousands of canal-side residents who were relocated to resettlement areas and new residential zones. It is estimated that the tunnel accommodates 40,000 cars and 10,000 motorbikes daily.
