Krung Thon Bridge

The Krung Thon Bridge spans 648.90 meters across the Chao Phraya River, featuring a steel superstructure supported by concrete piers with a 64-meter central span.

Construction of the bridge began on August 31, 1954, by Fuji Car Manufacturing Co., and opened on March 7, 1958, with a total cost of 24,837,500 baht.

The structure carries the alternative name Sang Hi Bridge, derived from the former name of Ratchawithi Road, reflecting local naming traditions.

The bridge provides four traffic lanes connecting Dusit and Bang Phlat districts, with 2.5-meter-wide pedestrian paths on both sides and a 7.5-meter clearance for river vessels.

The bridge stands as the second crossing point constructed over the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, marking a significant expansion of the city's infrastructure.
