Drivers advised to divert around sewerage work

PHUKET TOWN: Drivers are advised to avoid possible traffic jams caused by the laying of sewers on Mae Luan Rd (see yesterday’s story, below) by using Susan Rd, around the Sarakul Stadium. The diversion will be signposted. At a later stage, parts of Si Sena Rd, Si Suthat Rd, Amphoe Rd, Surin Rd, Luang Pho Rd, Wichit Songkram Rd and Chao Fa Rd East will also be dug up in order to lay pipes. A completion date for the entire 524-million-baht project has not been fixed as progress will depend on the supply of funds from the government. But it will take “several years” Phuket municipal councillor Khun Ayoot Thansiriroj said.
