PHUKET: -- The two-month long reconstruction of a collapsed bridge near Nai Harn Lake is complete and set to open for use before the end of April, Rawai Mayor Aroon Solos has told The Phuket News.

 

Although the B1.3 million bridge is no longer under construction, there are ongoing roadworks on the street leading to the bridge.

 

The previous bridge collapsed back in February (see story here), due to “structural steel corrosion from prolonged use”, Mayor Aroon told The Phuket News.

 

“The new design has a three-way drain system. It has an expected usage of over 30 years,” he assured.
