The Thai-Belgian Bridge has been closed for repairs for 45 days following a fire that damaged its structure in February. The arson suspect has been arrested. The bridge's outbound side will reopen on 16th April as the repairs are now close to completion. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will close the bridge’s inbound side leading to the Sam Yan area for repairs on 17th April. During this period, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and metropolitan police have arranged for one-way traffic on the bridge’s inbound side between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Two-way traffic is allowed in other, non-rush hours. The same traffic arrangement will be applied to the bridge’s outbound side after its reopening. -- nnt 2017-04-10
