Pattaya will begin construction of a storm-drainage system on Sukhumvit Road in Naklua.
Deputy City Manager Kiattisak Sriwongchai chaired a June 14 planning meeting for the major roadwork on Sukhumvit Road between Soi Pothisan and the Naklua Canal.
Contractor Sahakim Motor Co. will install cesspools, box culverts and pipes over a span of 858 meters along the center of the highway before repaving the street in concrete and placing new cast iron drain covers.
The contract began June 1 and runs until April 4, 2023. Roadwork will stretch only 90 meters in one lane at a time to minimize traffic congestion as much as possible. There will be no roadwork on weekends.
