Nonthaburi Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Nonthaburi, Thailand
Nonthaburi Bridge is a steel truss structure that crosses the Chao Phraya River, linking Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani Provinces. The span measures 260 meters long and 12 meters wide, carrying traffic across this important waterway.
Construction began in 1954 and the bridge opened to traffic in 1959, making it one of the early crossings built over the Chao Phraya River. It became an important link for transportation development between the provinces at that time.
The bridge received its alternative name, Nuanchawee Bridge, following a notable criminal case that occurred in the area during 1959.
The bridge can be crossed on foot or by vehicle from either end, with access available from both sides of the river. Water levels rise during rainy seasons, which can affect navigation for larger boats passing underneath.
The bridge clearance height of 5.3 meters affects river traffic during rainy seasons, leading to discussions about structural modifications that remain unimplemented.
