BANGKOK, March 18 (TNA) – The Transport Ministry planned to open a 30-kilometer-long section of the Bang Pa-in-Nakhon Ratchasima motorway to facilitate traffic during the Songkran festival.

Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob said he ordered the Highways Department to check the latest construction progress of Motorway 6 from Bang Pa-in to Nakhon Ratchasima and assess the possibility of opening its section to facilitate Songkran traffic.

He planned the tentative use on the elevated section of the new inter-city motorway above the Lam Takhong dam from the 65th kilometer marker of Mitraparp Highway in Nong Sarai sub-district to the end of the elevated section on Highway 201. The tentative use was set from April 8 to 19.

Special Lanes, that will be loaded up with specially crashed vehicles that were speeding or better yet that will end up on the road below the elevated section closing it down as well.  Let the flying cars loose, good for 120 kmh to 150 kmh I am sure.  The new Thai Autobahn.
