New Overpass Project to Ease Traffic in Chiang Rai

The Department of Rural Roads (DRR) has officially commenced construction on a new overpass project located at the Mae Khao Tom intersection on the ChR.1023 road in Mueang Chiang Rai District, Chiang Rai Province. According to a report by Prachachat Business, the project is valued at approximately 329 million baht and is scheduled for completion by 2029.

This infrastructure development is designed to support the growing economic activity in Northern Thailand. By constructing this overpass, the DRR aims to enhance the efficiency of the local transportation network, specifically improving connectivity to the airport and alleviating current and future traffic congestion in the area.

For residents and travelers, this project signifies a long-term effort to streamline transit through one of Chiang Rai’s key intersections. While the construction is now underway, motorists should anticipate potential traffic adjustments or delays in the vicinity of the Mae Khao Tom intersection throughout the multi-year construction period. Further details regarding specific traffic management plans or temporary road closures during the construction phases remain to be confirmed by local authorities as the project progresses toward its 2029 target date.
