PHUKET: The island’s fifth underpass, at the turnoff to Phuket International Airport on Theprkrasattri Rd, has been completed on time – including a four-month reprieve due to factors beyond the contractor’s control – and the project will be officially handed over by the contractor to the Phuket office of the Highways Department tomorrow (Oct 31).
