The first super-large bridge of the first phase of the China-Thailand high-speed railway project was completed and has entered the full construction stage. The first section of the railway is 253 kilometers long and will run from the Thai capital Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima province. The second section, 356 km long, will go further northeast to the border with Laos.
