Large hole in middle of moat road blocking traffic…is it fixed do you know..?

[mikey88]

Last week or so I was held up on the moat road for a long time….has anyone driven it lately …and is the hole fixed  and construction finished …might you know….?

[Dcheech]

Anything more specific? They have been working on 'holes'  in the moat road for the last couple weeks. They finish with one, then go and dig another up.

The whole city, really? At night? Anyway, how many km do you bike? If you do it for exercise and bike a lot, you could try Canal road there is a wonderful 6km stretch of 2-lanes bycicle path that goes from Convention Center to the turn for Mae Rim intersection, you can do back and forth to your legs' content. They are now expanding it southwards. There is also a 2km loop around the 700y stadium.

i actually live on canal rd.....but ride motorbike to city where my bike it and putter around...

 

i seems to me they may be putting in a drainage system but either way its a hot mess all over the city as these dudes--burmese? set up at night and then throw a steel plate over it when done and its all over old city as it bike the same route.....waiting for my rim to get jacked up

 

go take a ride around old city at night and see the hot mess..massive trucks-blockades pipes all scattered on the sidewalks forcing ppl onto the street..blaring lights to blind the drivers...blah

Drove by the west sipoom this morning and it’s filled in now, it appears the project is needing completion

was biking around late last night...blocked on the street..double back and blocked at other end --turn by police station and again!!!  had to cut thru police parking lot as all the cops were hanging out--seemed to be for a late night checkpoint aka money grab

The digging around the moat is part of a program to put all the power and communications lines underground. It started a few months ago.

im in city biking daily at night..then why are they putting giant water tanks underground?  looks more like a drainage project but could be wrong..
