The new bridge over the Mekong River connects Laos and Thailand. Work on the construction began in January 2020 and the bridge will be ready in January 2024. The bridge is about 10 km from Bueng Kan City. It reaches Paksan town of Bolikhamxay Province in Laos. The length is 1.3 km. In the future this will be an important connecting point between Thailand and Laos and will be connected to a highway going to Vietnam.
