Department of Highways advances a significant infrastructure development to alleviate traffic and bolster tourism in Phuket.
The Department of Highways in Thailand is advancing plans for a new roadway designed to connect Ban Muang Mai to the Phuket Airport intersection.
This infrastructure project is part of a broader initiative aimed at easing traffic congestion in the area and supporting the province’s growing tourism industry and economic development.
The proposed road is expected to enhance accessibility to the Phuket International Airport, which is a crucial gateway for both domestic and international travelers.
The development is anticipated to accommodate the increasing number of visitors to the region, thereby promoting economic activity linked to tourism.
In a statement, Director-General Aphirat expressed the project’s importance in managing the influx of tourists and improving local transportation networks.
The current traffic conditions have been a growing concern for residents and local businesses alike, driving the need for infrastructural upgrades.
The completion of the new road is projected for 2028, reflecting the government's commitment to enhancing the transportation framework in Phuket, a province recognized for its significant contribution to Thailand’s tourism economy.
As the island continues to attract tourists, the new road is aimed at providing a more efficient travel experience for both residents and visitors.
