“The traffic police asked us to postpone the lane closure date until Friday,” Ittiwat Kritsanawanich, underpass project engineer, told The Phuket News.

However, Mr Ittiwat insisted that the project remains the same as it was planned. Only the lane closure date is postponed for a couple of days.

The Phuket Traffic Police explained that HRH Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn will be in Phuket from tomorrow – when work was originally scheduled to start – until Friday.
