Six Bangkok bridges in “deteriorating” condition

 

 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s Public Works Department has found in a survey that six bridges in Bangkok are now in a deteriorating condition and in need of repair.

 

Daily News quoted Thiti Charoenkij, director of the Construction Division of the Public Works Department, as saying that out of more than 1,000 bridges in Bangkok, six are urgently in need of repair.

 

They are: the bridge across Saen Saep canal at the Nida intersection; Saphansung Bang Sue bridge; Prem Pracha bridge; Khlong Lampet bridge on the road to Siam Park; Khlong Samwa bridge; and, the bridge across Khlong Tha Raeng on Watcharapol road.

Perhaps the junta can save its legacy by establishing infrastructure checks and establishing budgets for maintenance and monitoring.  Three years in and all they have is a good beach chair policy.  

aaahhh ...maintenance ...that old chestnut...they don't bother with that round these parts.

unlike .....this from 1890.

And don't forget lottery tickets are 80 baht instead of 100.

And Lamyai only twerks 3 times instead of 9...

I think they should cancel the Subs they ordered from China and concentrate on the infrastructure  Subs will not hold up bridges

That is exactly what this article reports as happening!  Three years in and they are also inspecting infrastructure and allocating repair budgets.

Here, corrosion only creates corruption.

Unless they intend to moor them underneath as temporary support pontoons. Maybe they can find a use for the aircraft carrier. Just park it laterally and build a ramp up each side of the deck. After all it does have a bridge!

Precisely my thought. This is a good thing. They sent inspectors out and they did their job. Now they will repair.

The problem is that some posters do not like to hear of anything normal and logical in Thailand because their intellect only stretches as far as knocking the country and Thais.  A report such as the OP leaves them befuddled so rather than keeping quiet they smugly have a wild bash but fail to see how daft they sound. 

liability ???..''me no understand word RIABIRATY..

And 3 very useful submarines.
