Construction on the collapsed On Nut-Lat Krabang elevated road is expected to resume in March, said the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's (BMA) Public Works Department.
It has been five months since the collapse of this elevated road that was still under construction on Luang Phaeng Road in Lat Krabang district on July 10, last year.
During a regular Monday evening, with no particular spike in traffic, a 600-metre section of the project -- from Lotus's Lat Krabang branch to Jorakay Noi police station -- collapsed, killing two people and injuring 13 others.
The accident caused damage to vehicles, electricity poles and even some nearby buildings, prompting authorities to stop construction indefinitely.
The project is expected to resume in March and will be finished early next year, an official said.
The On Nut-Lat Krabang elevated road is a four-lane overpass 3.36 kilometres in length, and it was estimated to be 20% complete at the time of the collapse.
