Well done on the temporary opening.

 

One small request though, could you please erect a sign (Eng/Thai if possible) explaining the entrance to the by-pass road? 

 

Happy New Year to everyone. Have a safe one

Just what you need for drunk drivers, a half finished road. Please order plenty of Body Bags.

If the roof falls in; there will be a lots of flat Cars.

But what can happen in 3-4 days, right ?

Wow that was unexpectedly fast. Ital-Thai are doing a decent job. It's not perfect (too much crap on the road, uneven surface) but it's miles ahead of that other company which only produced disasters.
