Underpass scheme faces additional 3-year delayNAKHON RATCHASIMA: A long-delayed project to build an underpass in the city centre could go ahead within the next three years provided it passes an environmental impact assessment (EIA), according to the provincial office. The underpass was designed in 2007 to alleviate traffic congestion where Highway 2 (Mittraphap Road) and Highway 224 intersect in tambon Nai Muang of Muang district. On Tuesday, about 250 people attended a meeting to review methods of assessing the environmental impact. The meeting was attended by representatives from the provincial office, the Department of Highways, the environmental office, the consultancy firm, the provincial chamber of commerce and local residents. At the time of the project's design, the underpass was estimated to cost 300 million baht.
