Fourth Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge

About

The Fourth Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge is a highway bridge over the Mekong River that links the Chiang Khong District, Chiang Rai Province of Thailand and Houayxay in Laos. The bridge opened to the public on 11 December 2013. The bridge was the last section of Asian Highway 3 to be built. Traffic on the bridge drives on the right, as in Laos, while traffic in Thailand drives on the left; the lane-change is on the Thai side.
