Phuket — The Department of Highways plans to build an underpass and tramways at the pier intersection in the Thalang district of Phuket.

The construction costs are anticipated to be 2.36 billion baht. The underpass will have three lanes and go underneath the Thao Thep Krasattri and Thao Si Sunthon’s monument to ease traffic around the Pier intersection, according to Phuket authorities. 1,574 square meters of land surrounding the intersection will be expropriated from nearby facilities to proceed with the project.

 

The underpass entrance will be at Southeast Asia Cathay Gems Phuket, and its exit will be at Robinson Department Store.

Sounds like a nice little earner.

Hell I wish I was connected.

Building Atlantis appears to be the cheaper option at the moment ????

Anything would be better than that dang fencing they have across the road (all the time it seems) so you have to go north - near to blinking Macro to turn to go south to P.Twon!!!
