Railway road nearly finished

Army engineers constructing a 16-kilometer road along the Pattaya railway discussed with Pattaya administration how best to deal with many requests from residents living along side the rail tracks for access through the wire fence being erected along a section of the new road.
The army has received some 120 requests for gaps to be left along a 3.8 km section of the railroad so that residents can cross it, a problem that Pattaya City said will need to be referred to the State Railway of Thailand.
Col. Suthep Pariyaekasut, director of the Construction Division, Engineering Department in Ratchaburi and Col. Anusorn Panyabun, chief of staff of the department and officer in charge of the road gave a progress report to city officials led by Sittiprap Muangkoom, Pattaya city manager on November 10 at city hall.
