Chao Phraya promenade blueprint ‘50% complete’
The blueprint for the “Chao Phraya for All” riverside promenade megaproject is 50 per cent finished and should be complete by the September deadline, according to a team from King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Lat Krabang (KMITL).
The KMITL-hosted press conference Thursday got a bit heated when a leader of the “Friends of the River” group Yossapon Boonsom asked whose duty it was to conduct a feasibility study and said the institution should first launch a formal debate on the subject.
The project spokesperson Antika Sawadsri said the study on the project was nearly 70 per cent complete, while the blueprint for phase one of the 14-kilometre promenade was 50 per cent finished.
The team was given seven months to complete the study and has two months left before the September deadline. Once the study is ready, the project will be up for bidding in October, and construction should begin in January 2017.
