Reflection from the dash panel on camera lens, probably from the overhead tunnel lighting.

  • On other planets they would close the underpass and get the contractor on site now, on this one we're instructed to drive more carefully, what's wrong with that picture!

  • This might just be the problem. If they could find competent skilled people the tunnel would not have started to fall apart already

    Drive through as fast as you can, minimize the chance of getting hit by a panel !!    Seriously, close the tunnel before someone is killed..    Yet there are still a handful of pos

TWO WEEKS??????

In some places two hours would be considered excessive. How long does it take to get a competent person on site to inspect the shoddy work and make it safe? It might take a bit of time to remanufacture the panel, but assessing the site and making it safe should not take that time. (Hint: get some spates made at the same time as this will happen again.)

I bet they didn't use stainless steel frames/bolts to hang the panels on....so the rest will come down soon as well.

You mean a bonus because the construction was only 2 years or so behind?

 

I passed this morning by the way, no warning signs at all.

A steering committee has been formed, they are now appointing a sub committee to commence the tender process to attract expressions of interest from contractors to apply for the repair contract. this will speed up the contracting process resulting in commencement of repairs by the 3rd quarter 2020. It is interesting to note the Phuket Governors brother in law has a recently registered building maintenance company.

 

OK, so I made that up, I give my permission to Thai news services to cut and paste my post when it comes true, won't be long.
