City Hall may provide Bangkok’s roads a makeover, in a pilot project to be carried out on 16 routes with a mixed road duration of up to 86 kilometres.
The construction project starts with Rama IV Road, at Hua Lamphong, Bangkok’s past main train station, and stretching 5km to finish where the road match Kasemrat Road.
the initial two 3km part, from Hua Lamphong to Suan Limpini Park’s wall No. 3, is about 40 % full, while the other part, 2. 7km long, is 57 % complete, according to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ).
Minor restoration of roads with a combined size of more than 300km was carried out last month, said Wisanu Subsompon, a lieutenant Bangkok government.
These plays have yet to meet the satisfaction of numerous pedestrians, considering the number of complaints received about Bangkok’s roads.
Chadchart Sittipunt, the government of Bangkok, acknowledged that some of the city’s pavements also need repair. He claimed that the capital’s total span of walkways is about 6,000 kilometers.
He stated on the BMA’s Instagram page that the job required work that adheres to international standards for fine pavements.
The level of pavement concrete edging may be 10 centimetres, rather of 18. 5 cm under the old design, while the pavement surface’s surface has been replaced with reinforced concrete to assure its durability.
Asphalt cement is also an additional material, the BMA said. Concrete must now be 10 cm thick and reinforced with metal that is 6 millimeters thick.
The portion of the road that passes through a building before it needs a ramp needs to be smoothly transitioned. For trees surrounds on pavements, amorphous cement was chosen to increase walking space while reading prevents will be installed for visually impaired walkers.
Water will also be removed from the road surface with the aid of a vertical surface drainage system.
