webfact Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 The Department of Highways (DoH) in Thailand is gearing up to construct a new 34.1 kilometre motorway project, linking Bang Bua Thong in Nonthaburi and Bang Pa-in in Ayutthaya. The project, with a budget of almost 15 billion baht, is slated to be completed by 2029. DoH’s director-general Sarawut Songsivilai has stated that this motorway is one among 46 projects that are slated to kick off within the next two years. The Motorway No 9 (M9) project is anticipated to be a vital part of the 2024 Nation Strategy, which received approval from the committee in September. Sarawut confirmed that the motorway project has moved beyond the design and costing phases and does not require any land expropriation. He further clarified that it is more akin to a renovation of existing infrastructure. by Mitch Connor Photo: The Nation Thailand Full story: The Thaiger 2023-10-23 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Foxx Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 This doesn't make sense. Bang Pa-in to Bang Bua Thong is 55 km on highways 32 and 9. How then, can one have a "34.1 kilometre motorway project, linking Bang Bua Thong in Nonthaburi and Bang Pa-in"? It sounds like this is, in fact, a partial renovation of bits of highway 9. Not a bad idea if it increases capacity. The road gets very congested at peak times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
