The Orange Line electric rail system’s bridge has been made operational in order to make room for the development of Charan Sanitwong Road. It is advised for motorists to use other routes to avert traffic congestion.
The Orange Line ( Bang Khun Non-Thailand Cultural Center ), or Bang Khun Non-underground station, will be located beneath the intersection where Charan Sanitwong Road crosses Liap Thang Rotfai Taling Chan Road and Sutthawat Road, according to Mass Rapid Transit Authority ( MRTA ) Deputy Governor Kittikorn Tanpao.
The bridge was closed on Monday for at least two times at 10 p.m. Its restoration is scheduled to start in December 2026, with completion expected in June 2028. On Liap Thang Rotfai Taling Chan Road and Sutthawat Road, just one email and one outgoing driveway will be closed during the closing.
To relieve traffic disturbance, the MRTA has provided alternative routes. Travelers from Ratchapunk Road heading for Siriraj Hospital you use Borommaratchachonnani Road, follow Somdet Phra Pin Klao Road, and then move onto Arun Amarin Road to reach their place.
Otherwise, they can use Phran NokâPhutthamonthon Sai 4 Road, Phran Nok Road and Wang Lang Road to get to Siriraj Hospital.
From Liap Thang Rotfai Taling Chan Road, those arriving at Siriraj Hospital you take the Chim Phli Road, Kaeo Ngoen Thong, and Soi Charan Sanitwong 35. From that, they may reach the hospital via Wang Lang Road.
According to him, the MRTA is committed to ensuring the safety of the people and minimizing the impact of customers and environmental factors.
