Traffic Diversions Announced for Vibhavadi Rangsit Road Due to Flooding
Authorities have implemented temporary traffic diversions on the inbound Vibhavadi Rangsit Road following significant flooding.
On September 27, 2026, the Vibhavadi Rangsit Traffic Control Center announced temporary traffic adjustments for the inbound lanes of Vibhavadi Rangsit Road due to high water levels. According to Police Lieutenant Colonel Phuchong Maothung, the ground-level lanes are closed to traffic from 3:00 PM to midnight to manage the impact of the flooding.
Authorities are advising motorists to utilize the Don Mueang Tollway as the primary alternative route for travel into Bangkok. The diversion point begins in front of the Don Mueang Airport cargo warehouse and extends toward the Lak Si intersection.
For residents and travelers, this closure is significant as it affects a major arterial road leading into the capital. Commuters should anticipate potential delays and are encouraged to plan their journeys accordingly by opting for the elevated tollway.
While the current closure is scheduled to remain in effect until midnight, it remains to be confirmed whether the flooding will subside sufficiently to allow for the reopening of the ground-level lanes by the following morning. Motorists are advised to monitor official traffic updates from the Vibhavadi Rangsit Traffic Control Center for the latest information regarding road conditions and potential extensions to these traffic measures.
