At a glance
- Train traffic will be temporarily suspended for 55 hours in the "Golden Triangle" area from June 18 to June 20.
- The suspension is for the implementation of a complex surface water drainage system engineering phase.
- Road traffic will not be affected, but some passenger and freight train routes will be impacted.
Train services in the "Golden Triangle" area will experience a temporary halt for 55 hours, from June 18 at 8:00 AM to June 20 at 3:00 PM. This interruption is necessary to facilitate a highly complex engineering phase for the surface water drainage network.
During this period, the railway territory will undergo significant infrastructure work, including the installation of drainage pipes that will reach up to 2.4 meters in diameter in some sections. This project is deemed crucial for the reliable drainage of the marshy terrain and is considered strategically important for the city's development.
While road traffic over the Tilลพฤs Street railway crossing will remain unaffected, the suspension will impact certain passenger and freight train routes. LTG Link will provide information regarding changes to train schedules. The development of this extensive surface water infrastructure is expected to pave the way for future territorial expansion and attract new business investments.
