Although Rassada Municipality have made efforts to shutter the landslide to prevent the damage extending further, it is clear from photos that a more permanent solution is required.
Speaking to The Phuket News, Phudit Raksaraj, Mayor of Rassada District Municipality said, “After I found out about the landslide at the bridge I went to have a look.
“We have now had a meeting with the Department of Rural Roads and they are waiting for a budget to be allocated for them to fix the problem.
“As a temporary measure we have placed wooden sticks in the soil so that it will not get bigger. We have also put a warning light and sign at the approach to the bridge.
“However, I am worried about the bridge when it rains and advise people to drive carefully.”
