Flooding Impacts Expressway Access in Bangkok and Surrounding Areas
The Expressway Authority of Thailand reports flooding at specific expressway entry and exit points, restricting access for smaller vehicles.
On September 28, 2026, the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT) issued an update regarding the impact of flooding on the nation's expressway network. According to the report, while most major expressways remain clear, specific locations are currently experiencing water accumulation that prevents smaller vehicles from passing.
Specifically, the Burapha Withi Expressway at the Bang Bo entry/exit point and the Udon Ratthaya Expressway at the Muang Thong Thani (inbound) exit are currently affected by floodwaters. Motorists are advised that these sections are impassable for small vehicles. Conversely, EXAT confirmed that the Chalerm Maha Nakhon, Si Rat, Chalong Rat, Kanchanaphisek, and Prachim Ratthaya expressways are currently free of flooding and remain fully operational for all traffic.
For residents and travelers, this situation may cause significant delays or necessitate alternative route planning when commuting to or from these specific areas. It is important to monitor local traffic updates, as conditions can change rapidly depending on weather patterns and drainage efforts. While EXAT has initiated response measures, the duration of these restrictions remains to be confirmed. Travelers are encouraged to check official EXAT channels or local traffic reports before departing to ensure their intended route is clear.
