SLIDE 19 Alternative Route Study
19
- Urban Transit System (UTS) connecting city center with PP airport is proposed as a high priority
project.
- Pre‐F/S for UTS was conducted with 3 alternative routes as below. (now detail design by Jica )
- As the result of our review (interview to concerned organizations and site survey) , Alt.3 is
evaluated as the recommended route.
Alt.2: Above Existing Railway Route ■Many squatters living inside ROW along the railway. Alignment around the airport, which away from existing railway route, require many resettlement. ■Difficult to have stations along railway. Even if stations are allocated, difficult to provide feeder service due to narrow and poor access road from trunk road. Underground Section
- EV not allowed due to aviation
regulation.
- Rectangular area 11m @ app.300m to
be required for transition section between EV and UG.) Alt.3: Monireth Blvd.~Veng Sreng Blvd. Route (Recommended) ■No fatal negative issues ■The demand as corridor in 2014M/P is nearly similar with Alt.1 . ■Veng Sreng road, whose roadside is ongoing to develop for residential, commercial zone, etc., keep 2.5m space as medium for installing future elevated structure. ■Comparatively easy to assure the project land for all the section among the three alternatives ■UG section to be longer than the other alternatives due to passing across airplane approach route.
Rossian Blvd. Existing Railway Choam Chao roundabout
Alt.1: Rossian Blvd. Route ■The route was evaluated as the highest score in Pre-F/S. ■However, it is not allowed to install any elevated viaduct above the road from the viewpoint of public sentiment, security (the road use all VIP including the King when go to airport.)
