PHUKET:-- The Highways Department team responsible for the construction of the B200-million U-turn flyover project confirmed today (Jan 26) that the project will go ahead after they obtain a Royal Decree from the government in Bangkok to gain access to the land due to unwilling land owners in the surrounding areas.

 

With regards to construction materials left in one lane of Thepkrasattri Rd which has fueled complaints from locals, Project Engineer Kit Sonsuwan told The Phuket News, “The contractor has been able to start some parts of the construction and preparations, specifically in the middle of the road, where the Highways Department has access to the land.

 

“As we then encountered problems where nearly all of the land owners did not want their land to be expropriated, we had to file a request for a Royal Decree. The contractors said at first that they would remove the materials by December. But now they have requested more time until April.

B200 million? So this will cost 6.3 million USD Are you kidding me?

 

 

Consultancy fees, environmental reports, purchase of former waste land that has suddenly greatly appreciated in value, fees associated with winning contracts.

It all adds up. Most has been spent before the first sod is turned or the first concrete truck shows up.
