PHUKET: -- Transport Minster Arkom Termpittayapaisith has revealed that the recently completed Thepsrisin Bridge on the outskirts of Phuket Town is planned to be used by the long-awaited light-rail system, when it finally arrives.

Mr Arkom delivered the news at the official dedication ceremony for the bridge yesterday (April 6), in the presence of Phuket Governor Chamroen Tipayapongtada, Department of Rural Roads Director Pisak Jitwiriyawasin, Phuket City Mayor Somjai Suwansupana and a host of other officials, business operators, residents and students.

“The bridge will help ease traffic congestion leading to town, especially at the junction of Chao Fa and Bangkok roads. People can use this route connect to the main destination spots on the island,” Mr Arkom said.

“And in the future the Transport Ministry will have our light-rail project running across Thepsrisin bridge.”

Construction of Thepsrisin Bridge, which comprises two spans that traverse protected mangroves and the Klong Koh Phee canal in Wichit, began in 2013, explained Rural Roads Chief Mr Pisak.
