Thai floodway project set to finish in 30 months

The Thai government's USD$ 3.83billion floodway project is set to be completed in 30 months. The project is part of an $11.18billion project on water resources management, which Thai authorities predict will permanently stop the flooding of the Chao Phraya River plain. The floodway project involves the building of a 2km road which acts as a dyke as well as two floodways. The government is also planning an irrigation system to enable farmers to plant two to three rice crops a year.

    Construction of a major triple-deck roundabout in North Tyneside, England starts in August.

    The roundabout is part of an upgrade to the A19/A1058 Coast Road junction that includes lowering the A19 beneath the existing A1058 Coast Road and roundabout.

    The €90 million scheme is on the main route to and from the Tyne Tunnel and will mean that people travelling along the A19 will no longer have to queue at the roundabout to go continue their journey straight ahead. Instead, drivers will use a new section of road which will run under the junction.
