Also according to MAUR, in the initial basic design stage, the locations of the stairs and connecting bridge branches are only conceptual and have not been determined in detail, so during the actual design and construction process, At the scene, it requires a lot of time to update, adjust, negotiate and unify the location and direction of the pedestrian bridge.

These new locations must ensure the connection of the metro station with projects along Hanoi Highway such as Da Cau Saigon Park, Mega Market Supermarket, Vincom An Phu Shopping Center, Hi-Tech Park , Suoi Tien tourist area...

At the same time, the design must ensure no impact or overlap on utility works and essential technical infrastructure such as 110 KV high voltage power system, water supply pipes D2000 & D2400... and minimize the Relocate the city's existing drainage, telecommunications, trees, and lighting systems.

Currently, the contractor focuses on the construction and installation of horizontal beams with large sizes and loads.

Also according to the investor, in the past week, contractors have tried to complete the construction of the pedestrian bridge girder at Thao Dien station.

This is the most difficult and unfavorable location for the beam protection work of the project: located right next to the 110kV high voltage power line, many complex intersections at the foot of the Saigon Bridge, high traffic speed. High-speed vehicles (80km/h),... have many potential risks causing traffic and labor safety, especially beam transportation requires the use of super-long and super-heavy vehicles, while the infrastructure Areas that do not meet load requirements (White and Black bridges connecting Song Hanh road on the right).

Metro Line 1 has a total length of 19.7km with 14 stations (including 3 underground stations and 11 elevated stations).

Thu Duc, High Technology Center and Ho Chi Minh City National University Station.

According to the design, each pedestrian bridge is about 78m long (depending on location), 3.5m wide and covered. The two ends of the pedestrian bridge connect both sides of the road, helping people easily move from residential areas and commercial centers to the elevated station. At the same time, the pedestrian bridge also connects to bus stops to increase accessibility to the station.
