PHUKET: -- Despite previous confirmation to the contrary, the Samkong Underpass will have a “grand opening ceremony” after all – a year and eight months after its initial completion date.

 

Phuket Highways Chief Patiwetwoottisak Sookkhee announced this week that the northbound lanes will be closed for the ceremony, to be held on Tuesday, Dec 20.

 

“We received an order from the Highways Department head office to hold an official opening for Samkong Underpass this month because the project is now complete,” Chief Patiwetwoottisak said.

 

The event will start with a blessing ceremony from at 6am to 9:30am.

 

“We will close the northbound lanes only for the ceremony. The southbound lanes will be open as normal on that day so traffic will not back up,” said Chief Patiwetwoottisak.

 

“Samkong Underpass will reopen to traffic at about 11am after the event is over.”

“grand opening ceremony”   - what, you would think they would try and keep quite that it's so late, and hope we all forget about the delay. But no ... they have to rub it in some more and partially close the underpass ... again.

And it would be interesting to know whether the much touted large daily fines for late delivery (20 months total) were even actually levied.

It wont be coming back to the people who paid for the underpass; the citizens of Phuket/Thailand. 

Thats for sure.

The contractors have decided that a blessing by the monks is important as without this ceremony the chances of collapse are much greater.
