snoop1130 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Pattaya City just kicked off another set of new roadwork on Sukhumvit Road that ranged from Soi Phothisan to Khlong Naklua and warned drivers to avoid the track and area if possible. The new roadwork is one of several ongoing projects across Pattaya to build a new drainage network to deter flooding. The first phase of this roadwork runs from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation’s entrance to Soi Phothisan, or approximately 90 meters. Two lanes adjacent to a traffic island on Sukhumvit Rd have also been blocked as seen in the picture below.

jacko45k Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I noticed work on Sukhumvit North of town the other day, likely this mess. I am gobsmacked.... An alternative route is only possible on the Railway Line Bypass, which, yes you guessed it, is being dug up on the Southbound side, and has been for over a year for some damned drainage project. It is a coin flip whether you can get through or will be diverted off into the backroads all around the houses. These folks are idiots! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailand49 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 This area does flood they will put in a larger drain to hold the water below instead of above the water will connect to the drains in Naklau then out into the ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what drains there are , are usually covered in garbage that has just been thrown, which doesnt help the rain water to drain away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Here's an idea. Instead of starting new projects why not finish all the old ones first. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Thepprasit still being dug up, the area by the school in South Pattaya has been a huge hole for at least two years, Second Road is being dug up, the railway line bypass has been dug up in places for several years, and now they're starting in North Pattaya. Why can't these clowns finish one project before they start the next? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
