Severe Flooding Disrupts Traffic in Nonthaburi
Heavy flooding on Ngamwongwan and Chaeng Watthana roads has caused significant traffic disruptions, with water levels reaching up to 70 cm.
As of September 27, 2026, severe flooding has significantly impacted major thoroughfares in Nonthaburi province, according to reports from Khaosod Online. The Ngamwongwan Road, particularly the stretch from Phong Phet intersection to the expressway, is experiencing water levels between 50 and 70 centimeters. This flooding covers three traffic lanes in both directions, notably affecting areas near The Mall Ngamwongwan, Nonthavej Hospital, and Lek-Komet School.
Small vehicles are currently unable to pass through these sections, and numerous cars have reportedly broken down. To assist commuters, the Nonthaburi Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, along with provincial transport officials and volunteers, are operating shuttle trucks between The Mall Ngamwongwan and Khaerai intersection. Additionally, the road along the water supply canal (Khlong Prapa) from Phong Phet to Chaeng Watthana is flooded with depths of 30 to 50 centimeters, causing further vehicle breakdowns. Similar conditions are reported on Chaeng Watthana Road in the Pak Kret area.
For residents and travelers, these conditions necessitate avoiding the affected routes to prevent vehicle damage and traffic congestion. While emergency services are providing transport assistance, the duration of the flooding remains to be confirmed, and motorists are advised to monitor local updates for changes in road accessibility.
