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).

 

The underpass and the overground lanes at the main intersection are now fully complete, Phuket Highways Chief Somwang Lohamut told The Phuket News.

 

“The underpass has been open to traffic for quite some time now, but the installation of all the electrical systems, the fire suppression system, the air ventilation system and the water pumps are now done,” he said.
