| NOTES: | This root bridge is in the best condition in the Kudeng Rim area. It is being very actively maintained. A new span is being developed above the currently-in-use primary span. The new span is being created by wrapping young ficus elestica roots around bamboo poles. The bridge is used often by local villagers walking between the villages of Kudeng Rim and Kudeng Thymmai. Latex cutting on the bridge has been outlawed. Most of the roots that make up the bridge are quite thin, and walking across the bridge, as of January 2016, it was still noticeably wobbly. Otherwise it would have a SR rating of 9 or 10. |
