'''Ratchadapisek Bridge''' (; ) is a bridge across [[Wang River]] in the area of Tambon [[Hua Wiang]], [[Amphoe Mueang Lampang|City of Lampang]], [[Lampang Province]], [[northern Thailand]]. It serves to connect outer and inner City of Lampang.

Originally, it was a wooden bridge that the ruler of Nakhon Lampang, Chao Noranan Chaichaowalit (เจ้านรนันทไชยชวลิต) together with Lampang people had built to commemorate King [[Chulalongkorn]] (Rama V)’s Anniversary of his 25th year Accession to the throne in 1894. The name ''"Ratchadapisek"'' refers to 25th Anniversary Celebration or [[Silver Jubilee]]. However, there is another name that is commonly called "White Bridge" according to its characteristics.

In the [[Thailand in World War II|World War II]] period the bridge has survived through bombing of the Allies by camouflage painting. With the claim that this bridge had no significance as a strategic point for the war. After that there was a reconstruction in March 1917 as a reinforced concrete bridge. It has white rooster emblems and royal [[garuda]]s decorated at the bridgehead.

Today, Ratchadapisek Bridge is regarded as one of the landmarks of Lampang Province, as well as [[Wat Phra That Lampang Luang]]. At the end of the bridge in the inner city side is the location of a very busy local [[flea market]] especially at night of Saturday-Sunday called "Kad Kong Ta" (กาดกองต้า).<ref></ref> <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
