The Rama VI steel railway bridge over the Chao Phraya river was closed for repairs from Monday, forcing all South-bound trains to start from Bang Bamru railway station in Bang Phlat district instead of Hua Lamphong, the State Railway of Thailand announced.
The work was expected to be finished on Wednesday, with train services to return to normal from noon that day,
According to the announcement, about 10.30am on Monday a problem occurred when the steel structure of the bridge moved sideways about 10 centimetres while structural reinforcement work was being carried out by ITD-ARC Joint Ventre, which has been contracted by the SRT to strengthen the bridge to take more weight.
