Saigon Bridge is a bridge that crosses the Saigon River, connecting Binh Thanh District and District 2, on Hanoi Highway. This bridge is one of the most important gateways for vehicles traveling from northern and central Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh City since it is the only bridge linking District 1 to the new downtown Thu Thiem New Urban Area in District 2. In 2008, there will be more connections between these two districts by Thu Thiem Bridge, Saigon River Tunnel. Saigon Bridge has four lanes for cars and two lanes for motorbikes, bicycles.
