Description: |
|
The city of Pakse is the capital of the Champasak province of
southern Laos. This city sits on the northern banks of the
Mekong River. Linking this pleasant city to the southern side of
the river, and onwards to Cambodia and Vietnam is this Japanese
funded suspension bridge.
The bridge is 1,380m long, built
from reinforced concrete, and officially named the 'Lao-Nippon
Bridge', however, locally, it is invariably referred to as the
'Japan Bridge'. There are two lanes of vehicular traffic, plus
pedestrian walkways on either side. The bridge was dedicated in
2000. Waymark made on the southern side of the bridge. |
