The transport authority of Ho Chi Minh City is revamping plenty of major bridges and public structures by using non-stick paint that allows easy graffiti cleanup.

The Road Traffic Infrastructure Management Center, under the city’s Department of Transport, is the developer of this revamp project, scheduled to reach completion on August 20.

This project includes various public structures such as bridges, Bui Huu Nghia, Thu Thiem, Cong Ly, Calmette, Ong Lanh, Khanh Hoi, and Nguyen Tri Phuong, and the underpasses Dien Bien Phu, Van Thanh, and Nguyen Huu Canh, and others.

These bridges and underpasses will have unwanted graffiti removed and be given a new coat of glossy white paint to ensure their normal operations and enhance the urban landscape.

After that, they will be coated with non-stick paint, which will make it easy to remove any future graffiti or stains using wet wipes or water sprayers, according to a representative of the Road Traffic Infrastructure Management Center.

A graffiti vandalism spree has affected lots of bridges and exterior walls of houses and public properties in the southern city for years, including some landmarks like Thu Thiem 2 Bridge, the Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens, Le Loi Boulevard, and Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Street.

Last year, railcars of the city’s under-construction metro line No. 1 were vandalized on April 30 at Long Binh Depot in Thu Duc City.

Two of the railcars on this metro line had been defaced by graffiti in June 2022.
