Pathum Thani 2 bridge

Pathum Thani 2 Bridge is a steel structure crossing the Chao Phraya River between Pathum Thani Province and Bangkok's eastern side. It carries traffic between the northern provinces and the capital, serving as one of several crossings in the area.

Construction began in the mid-1950s and took several years to complete as part of Thailand's infrastructure expansion during that era. The bridge was built to improve connections between the northern provinces and the capital.

The structure received its alternate name, Nuanchawee Bridge, following a notable criminal case that occurred during its inauguration year in 1959.

Traffic is heavy during morning and evening rush hours as this route connects suburbs to the city center. Plan your crossing for off-peak times if you prefer easier travel conditions.

The structure has a low clearance above the water, preventing larger vessels from passing underneath during high water periods. This unusual feature affects river traffic patterns throughout the year.
