Consumer council, affected communities and the Expressway Authority union petitioned Deputy PM and Finance Minister Ekniti to re-examine the Ngam Wongwan – Rama 9 double-deck expressway before the PPP committee approves it. Concerns: value for money, contract transparency (the union says it has not received the full contract), safety after the recent earthquake, and displacement of residents during construction. For a Thai SME this is a pending infrastructure decision, not an immediate change: watch for construction disruption and traffic diversion if you operate near Ngam Wongwan or Phra Ram 9 roads.
