Bang Na Expressway (ทางพิเศษบูรพาวิถี ), Bangkok

Bang Na Expressway is a 54-km six-lane elevated highway in Bangkok, Thailand. It is officially known as the Burapha Withi Expressway (Thai: ทางพิเศษบูรพาวิถี ) It is a toll road that follows above the Bang Na-Bang Pakong Highway (National Highway Route 34) on the eastern part of Bangkok, Thailand. In fact, it leaves Bangkok, passes through Samut Prakan Province and Chachoengsao Province, to end at Chon Buri Province. If the expressway were a bridge, it would have been the second longest bridge in the world, but as it does not go over water for much of its length, it is not listed as one. The widest body of water that it crosses is the Bang Pakong River.

The Bang Na Expressway was designed by Jean Muller International, and opened to traffic on 7 February, 2000. There are two toll plazas on the elevated structure. In those sections, the expressway widens to twelve lanes.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
