A scheduled review of the pump system in the Chalong Underpass in Phuket has led to a day-long closure of the passage this Saturday. The routine check-up is a necessity to ensure the pump system’s continued functionality, particularly amidst the heavy rainfalls during Phuket’s soggy season. The Phuket Highways Office (PHO) has confirmed the closure.

 

The inspection draws its significance from its regularity and the intent to ensure the seamless operation of the underpass’ integral pump system. As Phuket goes through periods of heavy showers typical of its rainy season, the functioning of the underpass systems becomes crucial.

 

This Saturday, the underpass will remain closed for vehicular traffic, starting from 9am, right up until 5pm. This restriction is a necessary measure to allow the workers to conduct the system check without hindrance, as explained in an announcement by the Phuket Highways Office.

 

The PHO expressed regret for the inconvenience that travellers may experience due to the tunnel’s closure for the inspection.
