Borommaratchachonnani Road Expansion Project Set for January 2027
The Department of Highways will begin construction on an elevated expressway extension in January 2027, aiming to alleviate traffic congestion in Thon Buri.
According to Prachachat Business, the Department of Highways (DOH) has announced plans to commence construction on an extension of the Borommaratchachonnani elevated expressway. The project, which spans the area between Phutthamonthon Sai 3 and Sai 4, is scheduled to begin in January 2027 with an estimated budget of 4.386 billion baht.
Thanasak Wongthanakitcharoen, Director of the DOH Bridge Construction Bureau, stated that the initiative is designed to connect with new motorway networks and resolve long-standing traffic bottlenecks in the Thon Buri area to accommodate urban expansion. The construction is expected to be completed by January 2030.
For residents and travelers, this project signifies a major infrastructure development that will likely impact traffic flow along the Borommaratchachonnani corridor for the next three years. While the project aims to improve long-term connectivity, commuters should anticipate potential road closures and traffic diversions during the construction phase. Specific details regarding traffic management plans and exact lane closure schedules have yet to be finalized or released by the authorities. Travelers are advised to monitor official DOH announcements as the start date approaches to plan their journeys accordingly.
