The Transport Ministry will invest 6.6 billion baht in two bridge construction projects in the South after receiving approval from the cabinet on Tuesday, said Minister Saksayam Chidchob.
He said the Department of Rural Roads will oversee the projects. One is a 4.8-billion-baht bridge that crosses Songkhla Lake in Songkhla province and the other is a 1.85-billion-baht crossing that connects Krabi on the mainland to Koh Lanta.
Both projects will improve the living quality of locals and shorten travel times, he said.
