Pattaya plans to turn a stretch of garbage and overgrowth strewn land
near the Pattaya train station into a new road to relieve area traffic
congestion.
City Councilman Manoch Nongyai and train station manager Manas Lekduna met
Aug. 5 with residents in the Sukhumvit Soi 45 area about the project, which
will see the city clear the land and several illegal structures erected on
the public property.
They explained that a two-lane road, six meters wide, will be paved along
the tracks for two kilometers. The road will connect Soi 45 with Highway 7.
The officials conceded the road is not that long, but it will help improve
safety for students traveling to school and rush-hour congestion on other
streets.
The land clearing will take about two weeks. No details were provided on the
timetable for road construction.
