Controversial Beach Road Widening Begins

Controversial Beach Road widening begins

n8Beach28-3.jpg
PATTAYA:--Pattaya has begun removing Beach Road sidewalks and plants as it prepares to begin the controversial widening of the beachfront thoroughfare.

City contractors March 28 began removing trees and cement walkways near the Dusit curve. Work on the 144 million baht project will continue through March next year.

The widening is part of the city’s overall renovation of Pattaya Beach, which includes rebuilding the eroded beach and widening overcrowded Beach Road from three lanes to four. City officials have pledged to restore plants and trees removed, albeit it with 3.5 meters less real estate to work with.

City workers have begun widening Beach Road in Pattaya by one, 3.5 meter wide lane.

12 months to widen a bit of road ?! <deleted> ?

Chances are it will take more like 36 months. Ask people in Jomtien about it.

perhaps even more than 12 months. It took them like 8 years to complete thappraya Rd, which is barely 2 km long.

Get some Paddy's in. They will have it done in a month.

Wait ... not work permit available.

March next year? That IS a joke.

12 months??!!

Must be one of those one week on, two or three weeks off projects.

How many people they have working on it? Well atleast there keeping it open while the work is being done another reason why it will take a year. Where are they getting all the sand for the erroded beach?? I remember hearing about the beach plan more than a year ago hope its a improvement..

Doomed..... This is a thread that could end up being longer than the Jet Ski scam....

Many of the trees are not Palm trees they are deep rooted Tamarinds and Tropical Almond trees. I could be wrong...but

I cant see them being replaced to provide much needed shade and roots to hold the sand together.

Unfortunately, the new lane will soon be filled with more motorbikes for rent.

The silliest thing Pattaya has done... EVER....

The silliest thing Pattaya has done... EVER....

Now there's a statement!
