Narong Horee, Project Manager of Italian- Thai development told The Phuket News, “We have had to close the underpass for re-surfacing work. The work actually started yesterday.”
“However, people travelling northbound can use the lane to the left of the underpass, from Vichit Songkram School and past Central Festival, instead of going through the underpass.
“It is only the road re-surfacing work being carried out. Other work on the underpass will be carried out at night because it creates too much dust,” he said.
Those travelling south should turn left off the bypass road into Eakvanit Darasamud Rd (next to Worldlennium), and follow the road behind Central Festival East (Homeworks), and down past Surakul Stadium, coming out onto Vichit Songkram Road.
