It is believed that the contractor is afraid that the contract will be canceled.Mr. Suriya Juangroongruangkit Minister of Transport Referring to the problem of the construction of Rama 2 Road, which the public criticized as being a seven-legged project, he said that he remembered in 2003 when he held the position of Minister of Transport at that time. The construction bridge across Bang Khun Thian has been going on for a long time and has not yet been completed. He went down to order the termination of the contractor. and find another contractor to do it instead It was completed on time.'At that time he said The end of the seven-legged road It is the Bang Khun Thian interchange and Kanchanaphisek Road. In Bang Bua Thong and Bang Khun Thian areas, contractors lack liquidity and cannot continue. I just had to leave work. The Minister of Transport in Thaksin Shinawatra's government at t hat time could not bear it and had to come and insist on the completion of the construction. Finally, Bang Khun Thian Interchange It was completed in December 2003, 20 years ago. I didn't expect that 20 years of problems would require me to solve the problem again. Tomorrow I will invite the contractor to discuss what problems there are. And then there must be a schedule. At this time due to the COVID situation The contractor himself has been given an extension of his contract until June 2025, if he doesn't get there. There will be cancellation of the contract made. and find a new contractor. I think the thing that contractors are most afraid of is canceling the contract. Because it is a matter of the future, contracting with the Department of Highways will be difficult,' Mr. Suriya said.As for what are the conditions and requirements that will lead to the cancellation of the contract with the contractor, Mr. Suriya said that the schedule for completion must be adhered to. He thinks that in the remaining ti me of 1 and a half years, he must make an effort. And the Ministry of Transport will appoint people to look at the progress each month and report to them. They are confident that in June 2025 it will be completed. At this time it is still under contract. And when the deadline has not yet arrived We wouldn't be able to do anything. But it will warn you that there are people waiting to supervise you every month and report that there are delays. Must add workers or machines In order to have work completed each month.When asked repeatedly, Will it give people confidence? that problems that were solved in the past This time it will be done. Mr. Suriya said, "I'm probably 100% confident that I can make it happen.".Source: Thai News Agency
