Project 2 Tunnel Construction Project at Fai Fai Intersection It is a tunnel that has been built for 13 years. There are quite a lot of conflicts such as the size of the tunnel, negotiations with MRTA for the construction of the Blue Line train, which the structure must be shared at the entrance of the tunnel. Which has urged the Bureau of Civil Works to speed up and aims to open tomorrow (1 Aug 65) with a tunnel test tonight. and has emphasized with the Bureau of Public Works to look at safety as the main If there is something that is not 100% perfect Activation can be postponed.

If nothing is expected, it will be open tomorrow (1 August 65) at 5 a.m. The tunnel will be open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. to ease traffic. After 22.00-05.00, the tunnel will be closed to keep a few details for order. and next month, open at Ratchaphruek Intersection This will help drain more cars in this area.
Reporters reported that Mr. Chatchart asked Mr. Taiwut Khankaew, director of the Bangkok Public Works Office, while inspecting the tunnel to separate the torches to the drainage system and water pump. Ready to emphasize to test first and be careful about flooding.
“Today is Sunday, so I took the opportunity to run and exercise comfortably to see 2 projects. The first point is the Ha Yaek Na Ranong project.which is an overpass project which is closed, causing traffic at the 5 intersection at Ranong to be quite congested Trying to speed up the civil bureau because it promised to open tomorrow morning at 5 am, ran to not tell in advance, no one was there. At first glance, I thought it wasn’t finished yet. But the director of the Bureau of Public Works insisted on moving the launcher blocking the bridge. which moves to make enough distance For the label, it must be complete. The second point is the torch junction tunnel. This tunnel was built 13 years ago.“ Mr. Chatchat said
Mr. Chatchart continued that There will be another test tonight, however, he reiterated to the Director of the Bureau of Public Works to focus on safety as the main priority. If something isn’t 100% perfect, you can move it, but safety comes first. without worrying about the deadline
“We’ve waited 13 years. Wait another day or two to be 100% safe. If you’re not confident, don’t open it. It’s okay. Safety has to be number 1, it has to be 100 percent. We’ve waited 13 years and we can still wait. We just pressure to make it fast. Ask the supervisor to look at safety as a priority.
But if there is nothing wrong, tomorrow will open at 5 a.m., but the torch intersection will be closed from 22.00 -05.00 because there are still some decorations. But it opens during the day to ease the traffic situation. The brothers around here have been suffering for a long time. And next month, another junction will open, namely Ratchaphruek intersection.” Mr. Chatchat said
When asked by reporters what was the reason the construction took 13 years, Mr Chatchat said it was because of the road lane expansion. In the past, it was 3 lanes, which went to squeeze the footpath. which people want to have a wide footpath There were four years of negotiations, including the issue of shared bridge structures.
“The past has passed so what? We try to look into the future, try to be as quick as possible and take good care of the bridge. And the past is a lesson in why it’s delayed. It’s a bad lesson. make the same mistake again.” Mr. Chatchat said
When a reporter asked about the issue that two months’ work from being the Bangkok governor could open up to three separate sections, Mr. Chatchat said. I must say that it’s not our work. because it continues We just push the focus.
“Structure, we can’t talk about performance. must be done long term to help But we help each other out. It is important that the unfinished projects need to be expedited and restored as quickly as possible. Which point can be opened first? You can gradually open it.” Mr. Chatchat said
When a reporter asked if the traffic project had problems coordinating with other agencies such as MRTA or not, Mr. Chatchart said. He said that he now has a better job. Usually there is a matter with the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority. Mainly move wireless pipes and MRTA has a special order He said that the coordination atmosphere was better and we were like a mediator to coordinate and talk to each other. I think the future will be more smooth.
“Actually, I must say that the long-term projects are not our work. because it has been working continuously We’re just pushing for the importance and speed. Considered to help push for projects that are not yet completed, expedite, take care and return the area as soon as possible, whichever one can be opened first. or gradually open Mr Chatchat said
