What it is

The steel truss bridge south of Nawarat, at the end of Loi Kroh Road, painted and lit and mostly walked. Its dates and its builder are on the English Wikipedia page this record cites and are not repeated here without checking; what this site vouches for is that the name is khua, not saphan, in every mouth in the city.
