2026 may still be on the horizon, but we already have some fantastic news regarding the ongoing improvements at the Lumphini-Benchakitti Park link. While the highly anticipated Green Bridge connecting these two massive green lungs is scheduled for a full grand opening in mid-2026, eager residents can now access specific sections of the bridge during a current public trial period.

The Green Bridge is a flagship project by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), designed as part of a broader initiative to enhance the quality of life and connectivity within the capital. Extending over 1,600 meters, the bridge features several impressive upgrades, including non-slip surfaces specifically engineered for cycling and jogging, and a comprehensive illumination system for evening use.

Most importantly, the project adheres strictly to Universal Design principles. By incorporating gentle slopes for wheelchair users and clear navigation, the bridge ensures seamless accessibility for every individual. And while it may be called the "Green Bridge," visitors can expect a vibrant palette of colors to be added throughout the span to bring more life and energy to the structure.

What a great thing to look forward to in 2026!
