A section of Luang Phaeng Road that was closed following the collapse of a segment of an elevated road construction project will be open to traffic on Monday morning, according to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA).
Bangkok deputy governor Visanu Samsompol said the collapsed segment has been removed from the scene, but other debris still must be cleared.
He said a final safety inspection will be conducted before the planned road reopening, adding that work has been done to support the overpass' structure to prevent a repeat of the incident.
A project engineer and a construction worker were killed, and 12 construction workers were injured when the 600-metre-long section collapsed on Monday evening. Many vehicles were crushed, a building was damaged, and several power poles were toppled.
Police are working with forensic experts and the Engineering Institute of Thailand (EIT) to gather evidence and establish the cause of the incident.
