Underground cable work at Victory Monument to be completed next week

The Metropolitan Electricity Authority’s project to move power and communications cables underground on the stretch from the Lat Phrao intersection to Victory Monument is on course to be completed ahead of schedule, MEA assistant governor Thirawat Thepamnuaysuk said.

He said the project, scheduled to be completed at the end of the month, would be completed on Monday.
The project aims to free the eight-kilometre-long Phaholyothin Road--from the Lat Phrao intersection to Victory Monument--from the tangle of overhead cables.
On Monday, the MEA will hold a ceremony to remove the last power pole in front of Channel 5 TV station, he added.
He was speaking to reporters on Tuesday while inspecting the progress of the project to reorganise power and communication cables on North Sathorn Road.
The MEA will remove all unused communications cables and make it mandatory for communications operators to rearrange their wires by labelling them and putting them into holders prepared by the MEA, Thirawat said.
