Krungthep Bridge

About

The Krungthep Bridge (RTGS: Saphan Krung Thep, pronounced [sā.pʰāːn krūŋ tʰêːp]) is a bascule bridge (drawbridge) spanning the Chao Phraya river in Bangkok, Thailand. It was the third bridge to be built across the Chao Phraya river. It was constructed by Fuji Car Manufacturing Co., Ltd, with a budget of 31,912,500 baht. Heavy congestion on the bridge led to the construction of the 6-lane Rama III Bridge nearby.
