Section of Kathu-Koh Kaew shortcut road closed

PHUKET: Access to Soi Koh Kaew 33 from Thepkrasattri Road, behind the Isuzu showroom in Koh Kaew, has been closed off as repairs are made to a roadside retaining wall.

Construction is expected to be complete within 60 days.

“During construction the road will be closed. There will only be one lane for exiting to Thepkrasattri Road. We can not let vehicles access Soi Koh Kaew 33 because it is very dangerous. We don’t want any accidents happening,” said Khuakiet Chitkhua, president of Koh Kaew Tambon Administration Organization (OrBorTor).

“For now, you can take alternate routes. There are many back roads that are connected. You can also use the road next to Tha Ruea temple,” Mr Khuakiet added.

“We are sorry for any inconvenience, and will finish as soon as possible in order to make the road safe for everyone again.”
