The Metropolitan Police Bureau has announced traffic closures and route adjustments near the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center on October 16, 2026, advising the public to plan their travel in advance.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, the Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) has issued an official notice regarding traffic closures and route modifications in the vicinity of the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) scheduled for Friday, October 16, 2026. These measures are being implemented to facilitate traffic flow and ensure public safety during the event.
Specifically, the Lumphini Police Station has announced that Ploenchit Road (outbound) will be closed to traffic from 08:00 to 13:00. The closure will span from the Ploenchit Intersection to the Nana Intersection. Consequently, several bus routes—including lines 2, 40, 48, 501, 508, and 511—will be subject to adjustments. Motorists are advised to utilize Witthayu Road (northbound), turn right onto Phetchaburi Road, and then turn right again at the Mit Samphan Intersection as an alternative route.
For residents and travelers in Bangkok, these changes may cause significant delays in the Sukhumvit and Ploenchit areas during the morning and early afternoon. It is highly recommended to plan travel routes in advance and allow extra time for commuting. While the MPB has provided these specific details, travelers should remain alert for further updates or potential adjustments to traffic management plans as the event progresses.
