Play
The Cabinet has approved the proposed construction of three motorways designed to alleviate traffic problems during long holidays, deputy spokesperson at the PM's Office Colonel Sansern Kaewkamnerd disclosed yesterday.
The motorways, slated |to be completed in three |years, are a 196-kilometre motorway from Ayutthaya’s Bang Pa-in district to Nakhon Ratchasima via Saraburi; a 96-km motorway from Nonthaburi’s Bang Yai district to Kanchanaburi; and a 32-km motorway from Pattaya to Map Ta Phut.
Sansern said the Cabinet hoped the Bang Pa-in-Nakhon Ratchasima route, running parallel with Mittraphap Road, would ease the notoriously bad traffic heading Northeast during Songkran.
