PHUKET:-- Workers at the underpass under construction at the turnoff for Phuket International Airport yesterday (June 24) opened one lane to traffic travelling northbound as a temporary measure to ease traffic congestion at the site.

 

“We believe that doing so made travelling through the area more convenient for people,” Department of Highways project engineer Somkiet Yimpong confirmed to The Phuket News.

 

The single northbound lane will remain open until further notice, he added.

I thought last month that this had progressed well and predicted that  next year seemed a long way off for opening. 

 

No doubt someone will deride it though!

"No doubt someone will deride it though!" - don't you mean some one will "ride" on it????  ?
