Construction of the country’s widest river bridge, over the Chao Phraya in Bangkok, is expected to be completed next year.
The eight-lane bridge is being built parallel to Rama IX Bridge. It is a 2-kilometre-long cable-stayed structure, part of the Rama III-Dao Khanong-Western Ring Road expressway project. It was designed to withstand a tornado-gust wind speed of 270km/h.
