"motorway"

Motorway No 6 (Bang Pa-in – Nakhon Ratchasima) will only serve inbound traffic until Sunday to cover people returning from the Northeast as Songkran holidays come to an end.

The Highway Department has announced that motorists returning to Bangkok can use the inbound Bang Pa-in-Nakhon Ratchasima motorway for free.

The Cabinet on Tuesday showed the green light to a proposal by the Ministry of Transport to waive toll fee on Motorway No 7 (Bangkok - Chonburi) and Motorway No 9 (Outer Ring Road, also known as Kanchanapisek Road) during the seven days of the Songkran Festival, a Government House source revealed.

The Bang Pa-in–Nakhon Ratchasima motorway’s new gates and exits will be ready in time for the Songkran exodus, a senior official said on Friday.

The Transport Ministry is preparing a master plan for its “MR-MAP” mega project, or construction of 10 routes connecting motorways and railways, a news source revealed.

The Transport Ministry surveyed the progress of motorway construction on Rama II Road on Wednesday.

The Department of Highways is offering privileges for motorists who register for the M-Flow expressway/motorway payment system.

The fine for using the new motorway M-Flow lanes without registering has been suspended until March 31, while the money will be returned to those fined earlier.

Many motorists were confused by the new M-Flow expressway payment system after it opened on Tuesday.

The Department of Highways’ new automatic toll system, “M-FLOW”, will be official launched today (February 15) on Motorway No 9 or Kanchanaphisek Ring Road (Bang Pa-in – Bang Phli).

The multi-lane free flow system, or M-Flow system, will be activated from February 15 on the intercity highway (Motorway) No. 9 or Kanchanaphisek Ring Road (Bang Pa-in - Bang Phli) totalling four checkpoints — Thap Chang 1, 2 and Thanyaburi 1, 2 checkpoints.

The government is providing the following free services from December 30 to January 3 as a New Year gift to people in Thailand.
