A small road used by motorists to avoid the Rangsit area of Pathum Thani is being widened at a cost of 434.6 million baht, authorities said on August 15.
The 7.4km road helps to ease traffic on Highway 305, said Darun Saengchai, director general of the Department of Rural Roads.
The two-lane road will be widened to four lanes. When the expansion is finished, traffic congestion should improve dramatically and the travel time for motorists will be shorter, Darun said.
