Pattaya: Pattaya City has kicked off an asphalt overlay of Phaniad Chang Road, a worn concrete route the contractor expects to finish before the New Year holiday.
Deputy Mayor Manoch Nongyai chaired the meeting at 11:30 a.m. on October 9th in the engineering bureau’s room at Pattaya City Hall. Assistant secretary to the mayor Chukiat Nongyai, the engineering director, department heads, and the contractor’s representatives attended. The city did not name the contractor or give the contract price.
The job is an asphaltic-concrete overlay on the existing concrete, plus replacement of drainage-pit covers. The length is about 3,477 metres and the carriageway is 6 to 8 metres wide. The contract period is October 1, 2026, to January 18, 2027. Work is divided into four stretches: Soi Lukdod, between North and Central Pattaya beside Big C Extra; Sukhumvit to the Tantarak junction; the Tantarak junction to Soi Sukhumvit Pattaya 32; and from the Khon La Fan restaurant to the Mum Aroi junction.
Nongyai said the project follows a policy of Mayor Poramese Ngampichet that the city council has approved. He said the contractor will start paving next week and should need about 120 days, in time for the New Year festival. The contractor has been told to survey the road with the engineering bureau and to draw a traffic plan with Pattaya City Police. The city said it will announce the start date, detours, and temporary closures through its publicity channels before work closes a lane. No diversion map was released at the meeting.
Phaniad Chang is a secondary road running inland from the Sukhumvit side toward Central Pattaya. The Mum Aroi end, also called the Phaniad Chang three-way junction, is one of the low spots the city staffed around the clock during the September 23–27 rain alert, because water ponds there after heavy rain. The overlay does not, however, on the details released, include new pumps or a larger drain.
