The Highways Department says the M6 Bang Pa-in to Nakhon Ratchasima section (196 km) opens on 21 Aug 2569, initially on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The M82 Bang Khun Thian to Ban Phaeo section opens on 28 Aug 2569 and is free for about two years. Rest-area PPP tenders for 21 sites on M6 and M81 are under review, and the Sriracha Rest Village on M7 is slated for full service during Songkran 2570. For businesses in logistics, trucking, or roadside retail along these routes, this may shift travel times and delivery routing, and it is worth checking how the new road affects your trips.
