Transport Minister Sohpon Zarum on Saturday presided over a function to open the countryâ€™s first dust-free road in Buri Ramâ€™s Lamplaimas district.

The construction cost of the 34 kilometers-long road linking between Baan Salaengphan and Baan Nong Nam Khun was 14 million baht.

The dust-free road is part of the Thai Khem Kaeng (Strong Thailand) stimulus scheme of the government.

The Ministry of Transport plans to build more than 150,000 kilometers dust-free roads nationwide.

As you can see the "dustless road" project is expanding!!

The road Buriram airport - Buriram city has been under construction for a long time, but now as you can see they expanded the road to be 2 lanes each direction and the road is really good now.
There is a small part of the road not finished yet but as you can see its almost ready!!
Buriram!

Highway 24 between Chok Chai & Sakut now resembles an assault course,some of the potholes are so big they have put traffic cones in them some so big that it takes 3 cones to cover the area,,,The 2 newly laid stretches (only 2 months ago) between The Pig Farm & Nang Rong have also started to badly break up!!!!
