Transport Ministry to propose urgent infrastructure development plan to NLA

BANGKOK, 17 August 2014 (NNT) - The Transport Ministry is planning to propose an urgent transport infrastructure development plan to the National Legislative Assembly for deliberation next week.

According to Transport Ministry Permanent Secretary Soithip Traisuth, the urgent development plan that is set to be implemented during 2014 and 2015, involving a total budget of 69.2 billion baht, is now being drafted for submission.

The plan, which is hoped to be present before the NLA next week, includes projects that require additional budget in order to complete the connectivity of the transport network in Thailand, Mrs. Soithip said.

She added that a master plan on the major transport infrastructure development for 2015-2022 is also under the study in order to ensure the plan’s completeness, particularly in the areas of connectivity with neighbouring countries and the facilitation of cross-border trade.

In addition, the ministry is in the process of studying the border trade development plan, which the NCPO has instructed it to conduct, with an aim to make sure that all transport systems in Thailand will connect even small routes and that the actual constructions will be completed as soon as possible, said the permanent secretary.

Deal with Bangkok's transport problems first.. If they can sort that out then the rest of the country should be a breeze.

A decent highway leading to mukdahan / friendshipbridge 2 would be good , now you have to take touristic route to get there

Thanks for that. Don't you worry about us up county guys, we'll cope somehow.

 

 

It would be nice just to get a road through our village that can be driven at more than walking pace and where you don't have to pick your route carefully if you are to avoid grounding your car if it isn't a pickup. The roads have definitely got worse in the last few years.

A better way than what tgey do now about fixing rural roads , mean repairing 5 cm thick road or even replacing 5 cm thick road with you guess 5 cm thick road every year is costing heaps of money , better get it done right and no problems for the next 50 years or more

My concern is the bridge system here. Some bridges are way over used and very congested. Sapan  Thaksin is one that comes to mind

 

I ask this rhetorical question. What would happen to City traffic if Sapan Thakisn was inoperable. What a scary thought. They need to build more bridges

or there will be a major problem in the city. Why not an overpass that starts on Sapan Thasin and goes right to the Highway. That will alleviate massive  amounts some traffic on surface roads. No reason to take surface road. Time to expand and build more bridges
