Sukhumvit Underpass Or Overpass Idea

Recommended Posts

The idea of continuing the underpass, or overpass, to Thepprasit is alive once again.

Pattaya locals object to planned Sukhumvit-South roads tunnel

Best quote from the article...

"Residents claimed, without evidence, that the underground tunnel would flood. The same fears were raised initially about the Central Road tunnel but it has never flooded."

Unlike the Klang intersection, where the underpass was built on a high point, the Pattaya Tai to Thepprasit north end entrance/exit is at a low point on Sukhumvit. 

They've worked unsuccessfully for years to resolve the flooding at that low point. If they can't fix the flooding problem there, what hope do they have of keeping a tunnel dry.

All the evidence needed is in this photo.

Seems like a great plan to dig a hole where they can dump the water that would otherwise flood that stretch. Shame traffic in the underpass will be restricted to submarines 😉

Maybe they could put a drain at the very bottom...
