Cabinet nods to draft on land reclamation for rail project
The Cabinet on Tuesday (October 29) approved the draft of a royal decree to identify land plots that will be reclaimed for the construction of the high speed train project linking the three major international airports, said Deputy government spokesperson Traisulee Traisoranakul.
The decree covers land plots in Ladkrabang of Bangkok, Bangpli of Samut Prakarn, Chacheongsao district in Chacheongsao as well as Sriracha, Banglamoong and Sattahip districts in ChonBuri. Land plots in Ban Chang district of Rayong will also be reclaimed.
The Charoen Pokphand-led consortium and the State Railway of Thailand last week signed a contract for the development of a high-speed railway linking Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi in Samut Prakan and U-tapao in Rayong.
The SRT will survey the affected land plots within 60 days.
