Thai-Chinese Railway Project: Section 4-3 Construction Delayed Due to Flood Damage, Completion Extended

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) board has approved a 239-day extension for the completion of Section 4-3 (Nawana Khong - Ban Pho) of the Thai-Chinese railway project. The new completion deadline is set for July 26, 2027. The primary reason for this delay is significant flood damage in Ayutthaya province. The floods disrupted access to the construction site and the delivery of materials, severely impacting the progress of the work. The Thai-Chinese railway project is a crucial initiative for Thailand's infrastructure development and is part of efforts to strengthen economic ties with China. While this delay may affect the overall project schedule, the SRT has stated that measures are being taken to minimize the impact. Source: MGR Online (Business)
