Bangkok to Open First Phase of Rajavithi Skywalk in October
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration is set to launch the initial phase of the new Rajavithi elevated walkway, aiming to improve connectivity between public transit and the city's major medical hub.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) Department of Public Works is preparing to open the first phase of the Rajavithi Skywalk this October. This project represents a significant infrastructure upgrade for the area, marking the first major renovation in two decades.
Designed to create a complete circular connection around the Victory Monument, the skywalk is intended to bridge the gap between the BTS Skytrain system and the dense medical district located in the heart of the city. For residents and visitors, this development is expected to streamline access to several major hospitals, reducing the need for street-level navigation in one of Bangkok’s busiest transit zones.
While the opening of the first phase is scheduled for October, specific details regarding the exact launch date and the full scope of the completed circular route remain to be confirmed. Travelers and residents should anticipate potential changes to pedestrian traffic patterns near the Victory Monument once the walkway becomes operational. Further updates from the BMA are expected as the project nears its launch date.
