Lavalin Skytrain (Thai: โครงการรถไฟฟ้าลาวาลิน) is a cancelled rapid transit in Bangkok, planned since 1984,[1] during Prem Tinsulanonda politic. It would be operated by Lavalin (SNC-Lavalin), a company in Canada.[2]
Three initial lines, planned since 1984:[3]
- Rama IV Line: Phra Khanong-Hua Lamphong-Mo Chit, lengths 25 km (15.53 mi).
- Sathon Line: Wongwian Yai-Sathon-Lat Phrao, lengths 20 km (12.43 mi), crossing the river via center lane of Taksin Bridge. (Now center lane of that bridge is the BTS Silom Line viaduct.)
- Saphan Phut Line: Dao Khanong-Memorial Bridge-Makkasan, lengths 16 km (9.94 mi), crossing the river via center lane of Phra Pok Klao Bridge. (Now center lane of that bridge is unused.)
