Phra Pok Klao Bridge (Thai: สะพานพระปกเกล้า) is a bridge crossing the Chao Phraya river in Bangkok, Thailand. The bridge was designed to alleviate traffic congestion on the adjacent Memorial Bridge. The bridge is composed of 3 viaducts, with the central viaduct designed to carry future mass transit links. As of December 2007 there are no plans to use the central viaduct.
