Taksin Bridge, Road bridge across Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand
The 1,791-meter concrete bridge spans across the Chao Phraya River, connecting the districts of Sathon and Bang Rak in Bangkok's central area.
The bridge opened on May 6, 1982, during a ceremony by King Bhumibol Adulyadej, marking the 200th anniversary of Rattanakosin's establishment.
The bridge name honors King Taksin, who established Thonburi as the capital of Siam after the fall of Ayutthaya in the 18th century.
The structure integrates with the Saphan Taksin BTS Station and Sathorn Pier, providing connections to river transportation and urban rail networks.
The bridge features a wide gap between traffic lanes, originally designed for a canceled transit system but later adapted for the BTS Skytrain.
