Deputy Transport Minister Inspects Road Elevation Project in Nakhon Pathom
The Deputy Minister of Transport has visited the Bang Len-Nakhon Chai Si area to oversee plans for raising road levels to mitigate long-term flood risks.
On October 13, 2026, Matichon Online reported that the Deputy Minister of Transport conducted an inspection of the road network connecting Bang Len and Nakhon Chai Si in Nakhon Pathom province. The primary objective of this visit was to evaluate the current state of infrastructure that sits at an elevation lower than the Tha Chin River, which has historically made these routes susceptible to flooding.
The proposed project involves elevating these road sections to ensure they remain functional and safe during periods of high water levels. For residents and travelers in the region, this initiative is significant as it aims to provide a more reliable transportation network, reducing the likelihood of road closures caused by seasonal flooding. Improved road elevation is expected to enhance connectivity and safety for those commuting between these districts.
While the inspection marks a proactive step toward infrastructure improvement, specific details regarding the project's timeline, budget allocation, and the exact start date for construction remain to be confirmed by the Ministry of Transport. Stakeholders are awaiting further announcements regarding the implementation schedule and potential traffic disruptions that may occur once the elevation work commences.
