Mega-Bridge news: 70% done
with cables to be installed in January and an opening date
of December 2006 - translated and
summarized by Wisarut Bholsithi from Thairath, November
28, 2005
The Provincial Highway Deputy told the press that the bridge
across the Chao Phraya for the Industrial Ring Road is now
70% done. The contractors are working to install the road
surfaces. The supporting cables will be installed in January
2006 and the project is done in late November 2006, ready
for opening on December 5, 2006.

There will be a park on 70-rai of land
under the interchange with museum buildings.
The first building for His Majesty, the second building
for the Life of the Mon people in Pra Padaeng and the
third building to show the evolution of bridges. Both
sides of the bridges will have ferry piers (or even
Chao Phraya Express Piers) to allow people to visit
the museum and park. However, the Provincial Highway
Department would have to consult with local
authorities as well as other related people.
After opening the bridge, the Provincial Highway Department
would install LUD machines to prevent the bridge from
collapse during storms and earthquake.

Jerry writes: Have you seen the newest bridge? Look at
the Tower 4 on the Mega-Bridge and then look to the left and
you will see a NEW bridge... The construction is shown clearly
on Google earth, so it's been in progress for at least a year...
We think this is the bridge
for the Kanchanaphisek Outer Ring Road (southern section).

Road - Section Suksawat Road - Highway Route 34 (Bangna-Trat)"
The bridge would be built just beyond the Susawat intersection.

Jerry writes: Today they have been erecting the blue hoist
for the roadway erection on the Rama 3 Tower roadway. Also on
the northern tower on the southern river crossing, they have
installed the formwork to give the top of the tower a flare
to finish it off...seems all the cable guide tubes are installed.
For the southern river crossing, there will be 14 cables each
side (56 total for both sides of both towers) of the bridge
to carry the 390 meter span. For the northern span of 280 meters,
there will be 11 cables each side of each tower. The two bridges
are different heights i guess...
