The project invested by Dai Phuc Group, a private firm, is aimed to protect Saigon River from erosion and also serve the development of the Long Park, HCM City’s longest riverside project.
The dyke project has a total investment of VND300 billion
The 3,350 -metre dyke will belong to Van Phuc urban area invested by Dai Phuc Group in Hiep Binh Phuoc Ward, Thu Duc District.
The Saigon River which runs through Thu Duc District has ever faced erosions, forcing local residents to relocate to other places for safety.
Pham Hong Cau, general director of Dai Phuc Group, said that the dyke construction would not affect the waterway transport in the area.
The HCM City People’s Committee has urged district authorities and government agencies to inspect households in erosion-prone areas and speed up relocation of families to safe areas.
The city has 40 erosion-prone areas in several districts, including along the Saigon River.
