Pak Phanang River Bridge Construction Reaches 91% Completion
The Department of Rural Roads reports that the new bridge over the Pak Phanang River in Nakhon Si Thammarat is nearing completion, with an expected opening by the end of 2026.
According to a report from Thai Post, the Department of Rural Roads (DRR) has announced that construction of the new bridge crossing the Pak Phanang River in Nakhon Si Thammarat province has reached 91% completion. The project is currently on track to meet its scheduled opening date by the end of this year.
For residents and travelers in the region, this infrastructure development is significant as it aims to improve connectivity and streamline local transportation across the river. The bridge is expected to reduce travel times and provide a more efficient route for those moving between districts, potentially easing traffic congestion on existing local roads.
While the project is in its final stages, the official opening date remains subject to final safety inspections and the completion of finishing works. Residents and visitors planning travel in the Nakhon Si Thammarat area toward the end of 2026 should monitor local announcements for the exact date when the bridge will be opened for public use. The DRR has not yet released specific details regarding any potential traffic diversions or opening ceremonies that might affect local transit during the final phase of construction.
