Phuket’s Vice Governor Prakob Wongmaneerung inspected along Patak road and the new warnings today.
Vice Governor Prokob says, “Some motorists have been injured on this road which is now being renovated between Chalong and Karon, a stretch of 1.5 kilometres. The contract runs for three months from October 13 to January 16 with a 12 million baht budget.”
“Warning signs and light are now being installed to warn motorists. Warning signs will be in Thai, English and the Chinese language. The contractor will also clear some loose materials off the road while the road is being constructed.”
“Many roads in Phuket are being renovated to improve the island’s roads and safety. Please be careful when driving. The construction is being hurried as fast as possible.”
