A pedestrian bridge in front of the Talay Thai Market, Samut Sakhon, on Rama II Road has become virtually unusable after a newly constructed elevated roadway left just one metre of clearance, forcing pedestrians to stoop or crawl to pass through.

 

The issue was highlighted by the facebook group “STRONG Anti-Corruption Club of Thailand”, which shared images of the bizarre situation on social media. The photos show the flyover’s structure obstructing the pedestrian bridge, making it difficult and impractical for people to use.

 

The images quickly went viral, sparking widespread criticism and ridicule online. Social media users left sarcastic comments such as “Who approved this?”, “A new tourist attraction—’The Crawl-Through Bridge’”, and “It’s just a modern way to teach humility.” Others speculated that authorities would soon be forced to dismantle and reconstruct the bridge to resolve the issue.

 

Local residents have called for urgent action to rectify the problem, but authorities have yet to issue an official response.

My uncle was a surveyor. On a construction of that magnitude, he'd be suitably impressed with the 150mm tolerance to dodge the railing and the camera pole on both lateral and vertical planes. :coffee1:

That's some high-quality engineering there....LOL

Engineering is top notch, the planning however leaves something to be desired.
