Nonthaburi Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Nonthaburi, Thailand
Nonthaburi Bridge is a steel truss bridge that crosses the Chao Phraya River, connecting Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani Provinces north of Bangkok. It carries both vehicle and pedestrian traffic across this wide river.
The bridge was built in 1954 and opened to traffic in 1959, making it one of the first fixed crossings over the Chao Phraya River. It has served as a key link between the two provinces ever since.
The bridge received its alternative name, Nuanchawee Bridge, following a notable criminal case that occurred in the area during 1959.
The bridge is accessible from both riverbanks and can be crossed on foot or by vehicle. During the rainy season, the river level rises, which can limit the passage of larger boats underneath.
The bridge also carries the name Nuanchawee Bridge, a name that traces back to a criminal case that took place nearby in 1959. This alternative name is still recognized locally today, even if the official name is more commonly used.
