Went to see the new bridge over the Mae Naam Kok (Kok River). It was finished while I was stateside. Shot with Fujifilm Finepix XP130.
Very interesting design - the sidewalk doesn't go full length of bridge.
Nice photos, thank you.

Sendai, a fantastic set of your homeland. Please post more from your home since I will never make it to Thailand and love being able to see the world through photos posted here.

The walkway connects to a spiral ramp that winds around the structure to the right of the bridge. There's a ramp at each side of the bridge on both shores.

Glad you enjoyed the photos. I usually post when I run across something I think might be of interest.

Yes, that's what I was referring to in my post.
My life's work was dominated by being a bridge design and construction guy. All the pedestrian structures we dealt with associated with major roads were very unappealing basic walkways with chainlink cage like covers.
That spiral design in very nice and pleasing to the eye wether walking, riding a bike or driving an auto over the bridge. Bet it shortens the time for an individual wanting to cross the river too.
Makes me want to see how fast my bike would go down to the ground level...
