PHUKET: Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong held a meeting with Highways Department Chief Somwang Lohamut yesterday (Mar 27) to discuss the progress of the Chalong Underpass and traffic problems at Chalong Circle.

 

It was revealed during the meeting that officials inspected the site most recently on Mar 8, at which the underpass was at about 40% progress.

 

Mr Somwang said that traffic problems have also been relieved since Gov Norraphat ordered more space to be allocated to traffic back on Feb 19.

At the moment it seems the only issue is traffic coming from Chao Fa West, all other traffic seems to be flowing quite smoothly.

40% complete ? They must consider the closing of the circle and deeper digging through the roundabout as a minor challenge

For this minor challenge Mr Somwang calculated 5% or 2 weeks time.

If something will go wrong the Gov will fix it with a order lol.

You worry too much.
