The traffic police announcement details that the left inbound lane will remain open.

Chalermpon Wongkietkun, Project Engineer from the Highways Department Phuket said, "The Sam Kong tunnel will be closed from 1pm today to 4 pm tomorrow."

The right inbound lane will be closed to fix the paving of the road surface.

The project has experienced numerous mishaps and delays, resulting in a delay in its opening by a year. Despite this, it opened in April, and is still in the finishing stages of its completion.
