Proposed Infrastructure Overhaul at Hua Pong Intersection, Ratchaburi

According to the Thailand Government Public Relations Department, Siripong Angkasakulkiat has announced a proposal to address traffic congestion at the Hua Pong intersection in Ratchaburi province. The initiative involves replacing the current tunnel with an overpass that runs along the irrigation canal.

This project is intended to enhance traffic mobility and reduce the daily impact on local residents and commuters. For travelers and residents in the area, this development is significant as it aims to alleviate long-standing traffic bottlenecks that frequently affect transit through this part of Ratchaburi.

While the proposal has been put forward, several details remain to be confirmed. The project is currently in the planning phase, and the government has projected a completion and opening date for the year 2031. Stakeholders and local road users should note that this timeline is an estimate, and further updates regarding the construction schedule, potential traffic diversions during the building phase, and final budget approvals are expected as the project progresses. As of now, the existing tunnel remains in operation, and no immediate changes to traffic patterns have been implemented.
