Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge


The Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge (Thai Saphan Mittaphap Thai-Lao) is a bridge over the Mekong, connecting Nong Khai province and the city of Nong Khai in Thailand with Vientiane in Laos. Spanning a length of 1170 m, the bridge has two 3.5 m-wide lanes for vehicle traffic, two 1.5 m-wide footpaths and an unfinished single railway line in the middle, straddling the narrow central reservation.
