[ProudLao]

The Lao and Thai governments have officially given the green light to the construction of the 5th Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge that will soon link Beung Kan Province in northeastern Thailand to Paksan, Bolikhamxay Province in Laos.

An anonymous source from the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT)) told local newspaper The Vientiane Times on Tuesday that Lao and Thai officials approved the plans when they met in Paksé earlier this year.

Furthermore, a 6th Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge linking Salavan (Laos) to Ubon Ratchathani (Thailand) is also currently in the proposal stage.

“The two bridges may be built at the same time, but the date of construction will need further consideration,” the MPWT source said.
