I agree. Industry relocating to Udon have the border with Laos as the gateway to China overland and a new rail system to ship goods into BKK, all over the country, 3 ports (BKK, Laem Chabang, and Rayong), and Malaysia. Not to mention access to even cheaper Laotian labor! To blazes with the increase in the minimum wage. What's not to love about relocating to Udon?mykthemin wrote:There will be a lot of industry coming to udon and loei as THEY DO NOT FLOOD like bangkok.

bobbi udn posted on skyscraper city......a photo of the proposed under/over pass at the ring road/Nongkai Hwy. Along with a budget that looks to start next year. Unfortunately, I'm unable to tell from the post exactly when (if) it will start.
Just a heads up for anyone who frequents that area.....to start thinking about looking for alternatives.

Should be good for businesses in Nong Samrong, as there will probably be thousands of extra cars/trucks using that road as a "Rat Run" to avoid the junction during the 5 to 10 years it will take to build
Should make for some fun with the double/treble parking next to the market :-"

Those who remember the Khon Kaen tunnel and the traffic delays !!!
Police have already conducted a visual on where to conduct their roadside checks, wont even need to use cones to slow the traffic down,

when KK was building the underpass I always made sure I took the west side Ring Road.. Probably 5km longer but at least 20 minutes shorter in time and far less stress.. For Udon, coming from the east side heading to Nong Khai will be difficult at best during the construction.. Not many alternatives other than going through downtown, around the east side of Nong Prajak and through the Nong Samrong area and link back up to the highway... I sure wish they had the outer ring road done...

I was looking around Google Maps to perhaps find a rural road that would bypass the NongKhai/Udon intersection to the east or northeast.. There's nothing there much since that area is full of ponds and creeks.. I did however scan across what appears to be about a 2500 foot airstrip.. Anybody know anything about it? https://www.google.co.th/maps/@17.47176 ... a=!3m1!1e3

Whatever they do and how they do it, they WILL have to have contingency plans as the amount of traffic from Laos and Nong Khai has almost trebled and we are not talking about cars but lorries with trailers or large artics .If you use that junction at various times it is the right trun from the ring road to Nong Khai that causes the tail-back .
There is enough land there to put in decent junctions and presumably one bridge or underpass, however following on from the Big C overpass, they do not use logical thought in construction and vehicle movement. Just stop or squeeze everyone into one lane and work unimpeded at a pace a snail would be proud of.
The only way I can think of is via Ban Dung, but that is a very long detour and I doubt if they have even thought of one, just hoping for luck and less traffic . There are other local shortcuts I am sure , but not suitable for anything bigger than a Nissan March size.
Life will be interesting and I expect the Tesco's at that junction will suffer from less customers.

If you use the intersection at the old Tesco/ringroad/Nongkai Hwy on a regular basis, there's still time to pack up and move elsewhere.......the construction is due to begin in Oct and last for 3 years and cost a cool 1,350,000,000 Baht.

Bring It ON! This is a favorite Police check point also, sure they have many other locations in mind to collect a few bahts from unsuspecting motorists.

Looks like the time is approaching to do what I did in UK ........... leave the car in the garage and use public transport to go everywhere oh s*** there isn't any public transport in Udon is there :-& :-&
Overpass/tunnel Udon Ringroad Nongkai Hwy
sure there is and plenty too... Its just a bit convoluted and slow as you move from the slow busses to songtaew's to tuk-tuk... The downside for me is the 1.5km walk to the main road to get on public transport....

Yeah right ..... WALKED from Ban Don Wai Road (off NK Highway) to Udon Town Centre (7k give or take) a couple of weeks back, got passed by ONE tuk tuk just the other side of Udon Christian Fellowship School (he wanted B150 from there to near Bangkok Hospital ) .... needless to say I carried on walking.
PS didn't you know Frazee ........ songtaews and slow buses are scared of the dark so only mad dogs and englishmen get to see them

If they intend to do both projects at the same time, one would assume thjat they will offer alternative routed, like through Nong samrung etc, It will be a considerable nightmare for many with the Ring road going in the opposite direction past Big C becoming more crowded I think towards NBL Road.
The only upside I forsee is that the Tescos, Big C and Nadee on the NBL road will gain far more customers , however other Thai businesses will suffer I am sure.

Any idea if it went out for tender to reputable companies either in Thailand or international?
3 years...they gotta be joking. Must be allowing additional time for funds to run out and refinancing.
With the complete lack of Thai logic and any thought for traffic control on even the smallest of road projects, one can foresee a complete cluster f,,k for delays.

Barney I hear that the working gang who place all the cones are available early October so will begin on time =D>
The gang that are scheduled to dig the road up will be available shortly after they finish their job in Roi et ( sometime mid December). The problem area seem to be the overpass building team who have a window between 25th and 29th July 2017 which will be used if arrangements (nudge nudge wink wink) can be sorted :-"

If you saw what happened with the Big C overpass, you'd understand. I can't remember how long it took, but I'd guess it was in the range of 3 years. Most of that time, nothing was happening.
There's a picture log of how the product should look at
