PHUKET: The expansion of the bypass road, officially called Chalermprakiat Ror IX Rd, to include frontage roads for people to access businesses along the road front on each side is hoped to be finished by the end of the year, the chief of the Phuket Highways Office has confirmed.

Samak Luedwonghat, Chief of the Phuket office of the Highways Department, told The Phuket News that the expansion project, costing in excess of B96.8 million, will make the road safer.

“As you can see, there are a lot of cars on the bypass road, especially during the rush hours, so we are widening the road and separating the expanded verge into frontage roads for drivers who want to access the shops or venues beside the road,” he said.
