PHUKET:-- The Samkong Underpass will be closed to traffic for more than a day next week as workers move in to clean the tunnel and clear all debris from the drains, the Phuket Highways Office has announced.

 

The extensive 33-hour cleaning effort will see the tunnel closed to traffic in both directions from 8pm Monday night (April 30) through to 5am Wednesday (May 2), explained Phuket Highways Chief Somwong Lohanut.

 

The work is being carried out ahead of heavy monsoon rains.

I use that underpass several times a week and am very glad to see this being done.

 

Actually planning ahead and doing something, not a common happening in Phuket or anywhere in Thailand.

Agree, but ongoing regular maintenance should avoid the need to close the underpass.
