Thai Highways Dept assures public of safety following concrete spill on Rama II highway


BANGKOK: The Highways Department has assured the public that the structure of the elevated motorway being built over Rama II highway remains safe, saying the concrete spillage was due to human error rather than structural instability.

In a statement issued on Monday (Oct 27), the department explained that wet concrete overflowed from its mould and fell onto one lane of the inbound Rama II highway at around 1.55am. The incident caused the concrete to harden and block traffic near kilometre marker 29+600, in front of Thale Thai Market.
