Thailand, Laos and China advance Nong Khai–Vientiane rail bridge
“The meeting reviewed progress on Thai–Lao–Chinese rail connectivity projects, including the Thai–Chinese high-speed rail project (Phase 1). Out of 14 contracts, two have been completed, 10 are under construction, and two await signing.”
“On the Lao side, participants were updated on the development of a cargo transfer centre linking the rail line from Nong Khai into Laos via the new bridge. The second Nong Khai–Vientiane Friendship Bridge will be located around 30 metres from the existing bridge.”
“The meeting also considered the composition of Thailand’s delegation and its negotiation stance ahead of further discussions on October 17 in Laos, which will focus on the construction of the new Mekong River crossing and its role in connecting Na Tha Station–Nong Khai–the new bridge–Thanaleng Station–South Vientiane Station.”
