5th Thai–Lao bridge nears completion, set to open December 2025​

FRIDAY, JUNE 06, 2025

​

Meanwhile, Thailand and Laos are moving forward with the 6th Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge, linking Ubon Ratchathani with Salavan. The arch bridge will span over 1.6 km and connect to key regional highways. The project, valued at THB 4.91 billion, is set to enhance transport and trade along the Mekong economic corridor.​

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Suriya Jungrungreangkit, together with Saleumxay Kommasith, Deputy Prime Minister of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, and Manaporn Charoensri, Deputy Minister of Transport of Thailand, jointly presided over the concrete-pouring ceremony and signing of the agreement on ownership, usage, management, and maintenance of the 5th Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge (Bueng Kan – Bolikhamxay) on Friday (June 6).

The ceremony was held in Bueng Kan province, underscoring efforts to strengthen transportation links between Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam, and to enhance regional mobility, trade, and logistics efficiency.

The 5th Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, which connects Bueng Kan province in Thailand with Bolikhamxay province in Laos, is currently 98% complete, with all major structural work finished. Only minor finishing tasks remain, and the project is expected to be fully completed by October–November 2025.

The bridge is scheduled to officially open for public use on December 19, 2025, in celebration of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Thailand and Laos.

Following its opening, the Ministry of Transport expects the bridge to significantly boost cross-border trade, which currently stands at over 28 billion baht annually. It will also serve as a key link in the broader logistics corridor connecting to Vietnam’s deep-sea ports, further enhancing regional economic opportunities.

Thailand and Laos have long cooperated on Mekong River crossings. The first Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge opened in 1994, connecting Nong Khai and Vientiane. Subsequent bridges followed in Mukdahan–Savannakhet, Nakhon Phanom–Khammouane, and Chiang Khong–Huay Xai.

The 5th bridge continues this legacy and represents the deepening ties between the two nations.

Meanwhile, Aphirat Chaiyavongnoi, Director-General of the Department of Highways, noted that the 5th Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge began construction in 2020. This bridge links Thai Highway 222 in Mueang Bueng Kan District with Route 13 in Pakxan, Bolikhamxay Province.
