|August 07, 2025
The Naga Withi project, a new scenic road along the Mekong River in the Northeast, is 16% complete ahead of its slated completion in 2027, said the Department of Rural Roads (DRR).
Montri Dechasakulsom, director-general of the DRR, provided a progress update yesterday on the 43.5-kilometre Naga Withi Mekong riverside road project that connects the Second Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge to Phra That Phanom in Mukdahan and Nakhon Phanom provinces.
Once completed, the road is expected to boost tourism and cross-border trade, providing a scenic and transport route along the Mekong.
