Flooding Closes Lat Phrao Intersection Overpass; Traffic Disruptions Reported
Heavy flooding has forced the closure of the Lat Phrao intersection overpass, causing significant traffic delays for commuters heading toward Don Mueang and Rangsit.
According to a report by Matichon Online on September 26, 2026, severe flooding has impacted the outbound Vibhavadi Rangsit Road in Bangkok. Authorities have officially closed the overpass at the Lat Phrao intersection to ensure public safety and manage the rising water levels.
This closure is causing substantial traffic congestion for motorists traveling toward Don Mueang Airport and the Rangsit area. Commuters are being advised to avoid the affected route and seek alternative paths to minimize delays. The flooding has rendered the road surface difficult to navigate, posing risks to smaller vehicles.
For residents and travelers in the area, this situation is expected to cause significant travel disruptions throughout the day. It is important to monitor local traffic updates and official announcements from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration or the police for real-time information on road reopenings. At this time, it remains to be confirmed how long the overpass will remain closed and when the water levels are expected to recede sufficiently to allow for safe passage. Travelers heading to Don Mueang Airport are strongly encouraged to allow extra time for their journey or consider using public rail transport options to avoid the gridlock on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road.
