Phuket tollway receives final approval

The cabinet approved 14.6 billion baht on Tuesday to build the long-delayed 3.98-kilometre Kathu-Patong expressway with investment via public-private partnership (PPP).

Government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said the Kathu-Patong expressway aims to ease traffic jams and support Phuket smart city development.

Of the total, 5.79 billion baht is slated for land expropriation cost, while a construction contract is expected through a PPP deal.
