The out-bound lanes of the Vibhavadi Rangsit Highway will be closed at kilometre marker 24+279 from 10 pm on Aug 25 to 4 am on Aug 26 for the installation of five steel girders on the bridge under construction across the highway into the Don Mueang international airport, the Highways Department announced.

The department aplogises the public for inconvenience it may cause and advise motorists to avoid using the Vibhavadi Rangsit highway during the period.

Those who opt to use the detours along the Vibhavadi Rangsit highway are advised to strictly follow instructions given on signboards for safety.

The old flyover into the Don Mueang international airport has been demolished because of the bottleneck in front of the airport. A new bridge is now under construction and scheduled to be completed in September.

People can call the Highways Department’s hotline number 1586 for information around the clock.
