According to the Ministry of Transport, the plan to construct the first expansion for the Red Line energy rail system from Rangsit to Thammasat University has been approved for submission to the government.
According to Deputy Transport Minister Surapong Piyachote, the 8.8-kilometer road from Pathum Thani’s Khlong Luang district to the Thammasat Rangsit school is one of three prepared extensions. Suriya Jungrangreangkit, the chancellor of transportation, said he has approved the project and forwarded it to the government secretariat.
According to Mr. Surapong, the plans must also be reviewed by the Ministry of Finance, Budget Bureau, and National Economic and Social Development Council before it can be approved by the government.
The Rangsit- Thammasat improvement may include four channels: Khlong Neung, Bangkok University, Chiang Rak and Thammasat Rangsit Campus. The construction project cost is estimated to be$ 6.47 billion, with bids scheduled for this year. He predicted that it will get 35 months to build, and it is scheduled to open in 2028.
Ideas for the other two additions, both from Taling Chan place, are expected to get forwarded to the government never afterwards than August, he said.
According to a supply at the State Railway of Thailand ( SRT), the 14 km Taling Chan- Salaya course may have six channels and cost 10.67 billion baht. The route with three stations, a length of 5.7 km, called Taling Chan- Siriraj Hospital, did cost 4.61 billion ringgit.
The two development contracts are expected to close after this time, while construction is scheduled to start the following year and be finished by 2028.
The SRT is nonetheless deciding which teach technology to use for the extensions, as procurement of fresh trains may cooperate with the government’s clean and lower- cost public transport policies, said the source.
By 2029, all public transportation services, including taxis and buses, must be electric under the natural scheme.
The SRT’s diesel locomotives will be replaced by cross types that can run on energy within a 200-kilometer circle of Bangkok, according to the source, before switching to fuel when leaving this region.
