The Bhumibol Bridge

The Bhumibol Bridge



The Bhumibol Bridge also known as the Industrial Ring Road Bridge
, is part of the 13 km long Industrial Ring Road connecting southern Bangkok with Samut Prakan Province . The bridge crosses the Chao Phraya River
twice, with two striking cable-stayed spans of lengths of 702 m and 582 m supported by two diamond-shaped pylons 173 m and 164 m high. Where the two spans meet, another road rises to join them at a free-flowing interchange suspended 50 metres above the ground.
