Brickbat Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Doi Saket dam has a new bridge . Just built for pedestrians and 2 wheelers. Steel flooring just 1/2 Cm thick and buckling under the weight of cars and trucks. Not to mention the danger . Accident , one way or another, waiting to happen. A simple upright pole in the middle of the road at each end would stop this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsall Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Interesting. Does the OP (or anyone else) have a picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the bridge (suspension). https://www.google.com/search?q=Mae+Kuang+Dam+suspension+bridge&sxsrf=ACYBGNRiKMRDzeZDnkmwCjdn6bpRYsn4WA:1574952060591&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiHgfDQkY3mAhVRfSsKHfe0BMwQ_AUoAXoECBkQAw&biw=1536&bih=722 https://www.rideasia.net/motorcycle-forum/threads/the-new-mae-kuang-chiang-mai-suspension-bridge.8981/ It doesn't look like it's designed for vehicles, and judging by the surrounding terrain, I'd venture that only drivers of 4 x 4s might be tempted to try their luck (foolishly) as OP seems to imply.

lordblackader Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 It had bollards up at either end the last time I was there - unless they've been removed I can't see how vehicles would be able to cross it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeryble Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Not a perfect view but from here it looks like a WEIR with multiple supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Grumpy Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Safe. But I'm sure a Thai will somehow manage to plank their pick-up on top of the white towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
