[5] Majority of the labourers who built the bridge were from the local Mon community who were mostly refugees from Myanmar given sanctuary by Luangpho.

After three days of heavy rain, flash floods swept logs down the Songaria river from Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary and increased the amount of the bridge that had collapsed to 70 metres.

The Miracle of Life Foundation, under the royal patronage of Princess Ubol Ratana, donated 100,000 baht to the bridge's construction.

Also according to Chaiwat Limwantha, who was the Governor of Kanchanburi and chairman of the Saphan Uttamanusorn Restoration committee, the ironwood planks needed were both rare and not found in Thailand.

A separate committee chaired by Sangkhla Buri chief Chathip Ruchanaseree was established in October 2013 to locate the submerged wood.

Between October 18–25, the committee brought in a scuba diving team from Vajiralongkorn Dam to locate the wood, but only managed to find 5 planks.

Phra Maha Suchat Siriphanyo suggested to the Deputy Governor that ironwood could be sourced locally by cutting down submerged trees in the northern part of Khao Laem national park, which would've been illegal.

[7] Around the same time, local residences donated nails and knots to Wat Wang Wiwekaram in order to support the bridge's restoration.

[5] Kanchanaburi provincial hall initially awarded a ฿‎16.35 million contract to Por Rungruang Watsaduphan Co with the condition that reconstruction was achieved within 120 days or by 6 August 2014.

[10] Provincial authority councillor Thawat Trairuntrakun later petitioned for the National Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate Por Rungruang Watsaduphan after claiming the compensation was wrongly awarded.

[14][15] Commander of the division, Major General Nat Intaracharoen had said that new Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha had ordered quick and careful repairs of the bridge.

[9] Before its opening, local Mon, Thai and Karen residents applied wood stains to the bridge with provincial authorities on 12 October.

[20] As part of the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand, the Department of Disease Control closed Uttamanusorn Bridge on 6 August 2021, isolating Wang Kha.

This coincided with the construction of a community isolation center by Pakorn Kanwanlee, the District Chief for Sangkhla Buri.
