    Online news:

    Six bridges across the Chao Phraya River bridges will be closed for 15-20 minutes later this afternoon when His Majesty the King travels along the river, metropolitan police have announced.

    The bridges are Phra Phutthayodfa, Phra Pokkhlao, Taksin, Rama 3, Bangkok and Rama 9.

    The King is scheduled to travel from Siriraj Hospital by his private boat to preside over the official opening of the Bhumibol 1, Bhumibol 2 bridges and Klong Lat Pho floodgates in Samut Prakarn's Phra Pradaeng district about 4pm.

    The Bhumipol 1 and Bhumibol 2 are known as the industrial ring bridges. The Bhumibol 1 bridge links Bangkok with Samut Prakarn and Bhumibol 2 links Phra Pradaeng and Samrong Tai district.

    He will be accompanied by HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn.

    The King will return to Siriraj hospital about 8pm.

    This may cause knock-on traffic delays for a while.
