BANGKOK — Bangkok is reviving a 15-year-old plan to build a shortcut between two major arterial roads to relieve traffic crippled by the demolition of an overpass at Kasetsart junction.

Two lanes connecting Vibhavadi Rangsit and Phahonyothin roads along Khlong Bang Khen are expected to open next month, and will then be further expanded into four lanes by city hall over the following year, according to Atthawit Suwannapakdee of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.

The project was actually approved in 2000, but city hall ran into resistance from property owners along the route. The BMA said it will propose 318 million baht to complete the expansion of the project.
