The bridges at kilometre markers 12.400 and 17+137 were on Friday under 50 centimetres of water and showing signs of erosion. They’ve been sealed off as a precaution. Motorists are advised to instead use Highway 2322 from Kosum Pisai to Chiang Yeun or the Mitraparp Highway from Tha Phra to Khon Kaen. Seven other road sections in Maha Sarakham are flooded – including along Highways 23, 213 and 2040 – but remain passable for traffic. Citizens are urged to report flood-related road hazards and can get updates on driving conditions via the Highway Department hotline, 1586.
