Phuket Governor Wichai Phraisa-ngop will make construction of a second north-south artery road the top priority among the four new development projects he will push for the island, says the Phuket Gazette.
Currently, Phuket has only Thepkrasattri Road to connect Phuket International Airport to most parts of the island.
With the airport’s planned upgrade allowing it to accommodate 11.5 million passengers a year by 2016, Gov Wichai said he was concerned about the future impact such an increase in arrivals would have on traffic.
“I want to finish construction of the second Chalermprakiat Road before the expansion of Phuket International Airport. If we have an airport unloading 11.5 million tourists a year before the expansion is complete, it will spell traffic chaos on Thepkrasattri Road,” he said.
