Sukhumvit Road closures set for Sept. 2-6

PATTAYA:--Part of Sukhumvit Road and the Central Road bypass tunnel will be closed intermittently from Sept. 2-6 to allow for construction of a wheelchair-accessible pedestrian bridge.

 

The long-delayed project will hit a major milestone next month when a 400-ton crane truck anchored on the traffic island lifts the 80-ton, 43-meter-long prefabricated superstructure onto supports on each side of the busy highway by the Redemptorist School for Persons with Disabilities. The bridge, equipped with elevators on each side, is expected to open at year-end.

 

Engineers also will use the period to remove the old bridge in front of Pattaya School No. 5.

 

From Sept. 2-6, the southbound side of the Central Road bypass tunnel will be closed from 7 p.m., although the surface-level parallel road will remain open.
