Thewet Naruemit Bridge is a historic bridge over canal Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem in Bangkok, Thailand. Its name is the name of the surrounding area.
History
King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) ordered the Department of Public Works to construct the bridge. The King named it "Thewet Naruemit Bridge". "Thewet" means "great deity" and refers to The Bridge Built by Hindu's Lord Shiva. When completed King Chulalongkorn gave the opening ceremony on June 30, 1899. It is the first bridge to cross Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem during his reign.[1]
The bridge was restored in 1975. It was restored again along with Tha Chang Pier by the Ministry of Transport scheduled for completion May 2021.[2]
