(KPL) A groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a new suspension bridge crossing the Ma River at Phae Village, Ed district, Huaphan Province, was held on March 11, 2025.

The event was attended by Mr. Khampheng Xaysompheng, Governor of Huaphan Province, alongside provincial and district leaders, representatives from contractors and project owners, as well as local authorities and residents.

The bridge, spanning 162 meters in length and 2.4 meters in width, will be primarily constructed from steel, supported by steel-reinforced concrete pillars on both sides.

With a total cost of nine billion kip, funded by the central government, the project aims to replace the temporary bamboo bridge built annually by locals.

The new structure will significantly improve travel and transportation of goods for residents of Phae Village and neighboring communities.

Bounthavisap Group has been appointed as the contractor for the project, which is expected to be completed within eight months. This development marks a major step forward in enhancing infrastructure and connectivity in the region.
