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 three 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.
