PHUKET:-- Both lanes through the Chalong Underpass will be closed from 9am to 1pm tomorrow (Sept 11) while Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) carry out works to the electrical system in the tunnel.

 

Phuket Highways Office Chief Somwang Lohamut told The Phuket News today that the tunnel closure is to allow PEA workers to “improve and fix the electricity monitor and meters” inside the underpass.

 

"It must be fixed because the previous work (to the electrics) allowed too much voltage through the system. This has affected the electrical system many times. The PEA must come to change the monitoring system and transformer again," Mr Somwang said.

I suppose it's quite reasonable for some maintenance work to be done after all this time. It was opened way back on 31 May this year.
