Mr. Aphirat Chaiwongnoi, Director-General of the Department of Rural Roads, Ministry of Transport, announced that the Department of Rural Roads is working on a new road project in Kalasin.

 

The road, part of the Kalasin Urban Plan, will cover 2.88 kilometers and is currently 33% complete. The project involves laying reinforced concrete pipes, building concrete box culverts, laying road base, filling with sand, and relocating utilities. The construction is expected to be finished by 2025 with a total budget of 199.85 million baht.

 

The new road will be a reinforced concrete road with four lanes, each 3.50 meters wide, a median strip 3.20 meters wide, and shoulders 3 meters wide on each side, reported 77kaoded.

 

The road will also include street lighting and other facilities. The project starts at the intersection of Highway 299 and heads northwest, passing through fields and empty land until it intersects with the existing concrete road of Phon Thong Subdistrict Administrative Organization at kilometer 1+514.

 

It then continues northwest, passing through more fields until it intersects with Highway 3063 at kilometer 2+449, finally ending at Highway 227. This project aligns with both the provincial development plan and the Department of Rural Roads' development plan.

 

Once completed, the new road will connect secondary roads to main roads, improving the overall transport network, easing traffic congestion in Kalasin city, enhancing the quality of life for residents, supporting future city expansion, boosting the local economy, promoting tourism, and providing safer and more convenient travel for everyone.
