Cleanup Operation Restores Traffic Flow on Phahonyothin Road
Authorities in Bangkok have conducted a major cleanup operation on Phahonyothin Road following recent flooding to ensure road safety and traffic efficiency.
On September 30, 2026, officials from the Bang Khen Police Station and the Chatuchak District Office launched a 'Big Cleaning Day' operation along Phahonyothin Road. The cleanup focused on the stretch between the Kaset Intersection and the Khlong Bang Bua area, which had been affected by recent flooding.
Led by Police Colonel Anan Worsart and Chatuchak District Director Prasat Phosrimat, teams of police officers and sanitation workers removed mud, silt, and debris from the road surface. The primary objective of this initiative is to restore the road to a safe, usable condition and minimize the risk of traffic accidents for motorists.
For residents and travelers in the area, this effort is a significant step toward normalizing daily commutes. Traffic police remain stationed in the vicinity to manage flow and assist drivers whose vehicles were disabled by the floodwaters. Specialized tow trucks have been deployed to remove stalled vehicles that are obstructing traffic. While the road surface is being cleared, motorists are advised to remain cautious as residual debris or slick conditions may persist. It remains to be confirmed if all lanes are fully reopened to normal capacity, as authorities continue to monitor the situation and provide ongoing assistance to those affected by the recent water-related disruptions.
