The roadwork, detours and inconvenience from the reconstruction of Soi Siam Country Club is going to continue for the foreseeable future, as the project has been indefinitely delayed.
Nongprue Mayor Mai Chaiyanit apologized to East Pattaya residents May 17, acknowledging that the schedule had slipped and construction halted.
The project’s contract has been extended and no completion has been date set.
Mai said due to flooding, heavy machinery cannot be used to lay new drainage tunnels and the road plans are facing changes. Until the alterations are approved, no work will occur.
The most serious impact from the flooding was in the Rattanasin Market area at Soi Famiartkan were four-meter box culverts were to be installed in the middle of the road to counter flooding.
The Nongprue Council is currently looking for a second contractor and the box culverts will be installed as soon as possible so that the original contractor can continue on with drainage pipes and other work.
The 67-million-baht job began on Jan. 25, 2016 and was scheduled for completion on April 4 this year. When done, the street will be 10.5 meters wide and a quarter-meter thick.
