Phuket to get new 378 million baht bridge
PHUKET: The Sarasin Bridge, which joins Phuket to the mainland, is to be dismantled and replaced by a new four-lane structure in a construction project worth 378 million baht.
Italian-Thai Development (ITD) said it signed the contract to carry out the New Sarasin Bridge Project with the Department of Highways, Ministry of Transport and Communications, late last month.
The work, which is expected to take two years, will include construction of the four-lane concrete bridge, approach structures and a pedestrian walkway.
The two spans of the existing bridge will be dismantled.
ITD did not announce when construction will begin.
