Rimmer Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 This is taken at the junction of the 331 and the small road that goes off it to Wat Yaan where the new motorway crosses the 331. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They desperately need to add turn lanes and more lights. It's terrible now. Can't imagine what it will be after this opens. I don't think "that much traffic" will be exiting Highway 7 at that junction and if even half the traffic carries on south to Rayong, it will be lot easier in and around Sukhumvit @ Pattaya. Those investing in the Bang Saray condo dream should be alright for about another 5-8 years before it all clogs up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stretch between the Floating Market and about the new water park is almost a parking lot on busy weekends! Terrible. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 It might be possible to use it to bypass Thepprasit and South Pattaya traffic to get into Central Pattaya, but on weekends the queues at the Hwy7/Sukhumvit intersection is pretty bad too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yes, that's because the Highway 7 bypass to Rayong hasn't been completed yet so your boaties, water parkers and navy beach goers have to sit in the traffic with stuff that is headed further south and east.

Inbound was gridlock from well before the railway track flyover. I shot into Central before 11 AM this morning and remarked at how quiet it was for a long holiday weekend. Seems like they are all arriving RIGHT NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oink Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) There is rather a large pothole at the northern end of the extension. About 20M deep and 200M long & 60M wide. The groundworks are ongoing either side of it. Then they just stop just short. Edited October 24, 2016 by Oink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boca Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 If you're coming towards Pattaya on the 36, the exit to the 7 has been blocked off for about a week now. Anyone know is that related and when it will be open again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattd Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Boca, if you mean the one for both Bangkok and Pattaya at the Shell petrol station on 36, then this is now open again, as I used it yesterday to go to Bangkok. It was closed to resurface the concrete on the bit as it swings right towards 7 and Bangkok, not really sure why they closed the junction at 36 for the Pattaya bound traffic, as the repairs are after this, probably coz it was easier to block all rather than have signs that most would ignore! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longball53098 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hey what happened to the updates on the road progress? I have been laid up in the hospital for a bit and I am interested to see what is new along the highway route. I live on the south end close to the entry/exit point to Sukhumvit in Ban Chang and the last progress there was very positive as was the construction of the overpass and roadway at highway 331 area . Be nice to see a more thorough report with some new pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianBerry Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I can help you out longball... here is one of the extension to Ocean Marina (Sukhumvit km 157). They have started the road base near Sukhumvit this last month and are close to creating another traffic nightmare for the next 6 months here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a big job then they will do the same for the southbound lanes as they are totally wrecked already by the contra-flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinkingman Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Any idea of a revised completion date? They are moving quickly everywhere I see. i think they are only a month away from starting roadbed and paving in many areas. SSCC overpasses proceeding. Still mid-2018? At the beginning of 7, a KM or two from Suk, there are some massive overpasses. What will they connect to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AdrianBerry Posted April 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2017 Here is the latest shot of the south spur at Sukhumvit Highway near Ocean Marina. Work is progressing on building the railway overpass - looks like it will be a level intersection at Sukhumvit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkingman Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Looks like the Ban Amphur extension will end in a T. I thought it was to end in a flyover for Suk northbound. I assume they will put up a light to reduce cross-traffic T-bone crashes, or maybe make all Suk northbound traffic use one of the U turns, similar to Jomtien 2 Road-Suk intersection. In any event, since construction started just a year ago, I am pretty amazed with progress. Biggest delay I can see is the elevated section above SSCC where the columns were just getting finished a month or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AdrianBerry Posted April 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2017 A mate of mine who does drone photography has recently done a video of new extension - you can really get a sense of all the work that is involved with the run past lake Map Phrachan.

Thailand J Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 I snipped the picture from a youtube video which I cannot locate at this moment. It is the junction at the south end near Ban Chang, not the junction near Ocean Marina. Here is another youtube video showing the same junction : 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
