The widening of Pattaya-Plutaluang-Banchang-Rayong Highway 332 is now 78 percent complete and expected to finish by August.
The Highways Department said Feb. 5 that the 14-kilometer, 798-million-baht project will add two additional lanes to each side of Highway 332, and create a new connector to Highway 331 at Plutaluang and onwards to Sukhumvit Highway 3 opposite Utapao-Pattaya Rayong International Airport. Two overpasses will also be built along the route.
When finished, traffic congestion between Pattaya and Rayong in the area will be reduced, the department predicted.
