Patong – A new local road from Kathu to Patong will be officially opened on Father’s Day, December 5th, 2022.

 

The Patong Municipality told the Phuket Express that the local road from Kathu – Patong has been renovated since last month (October).

I get its still a work in progress BUT I note the unretained embankments. Low side of the road bearing the road and traffic weight also looks to have zero structural or embankment stabilisation works.

Yes indeed - that looks very similar to the problem section on the existing road - which I read elsewhere is now open both ways to cars and vans.
