Nongprue officials apologized and a roadwork contractor was told to install lights and barriers following a string of avoidable accidents in East Pattaya.
Nongprue Deputy Mayor Wanchai Sangam and subdistrict council members inspected the work zone on Soi Chaiyapornwithi 8 where new drainpipes are being laid.
Large holes in the road and piles of construction debris were left unmarked with no lights. As a result, the hazards caused road accidents after dark.
Wanchai apologized for the shoddy work and safety measures and ordered the contractor to immediately install both lights and barriers.
