Preecha Chennarong, Chief Administration Officer (Palad) of Rawai Municipality, explained that the project is being overseen by the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organisation (PPAO).
The project, in total 1,973 meters long, will see parking spaces made available alongside the park beside the lake as well as a bike lane and the installation of solar-powered street lights.
The contract, with developer Sasivarai Construction for precisely B66,600,000, was initially agreed to on May 7 last year, with 515 days allowed to complete the works.
However, due to delays in the official bidding process, the completion date has been pushed back to Feb 10, 2025, Rewat Areerob, former PPAO President, told The Phuket News.
“If the project is not completed by the new deadline, daily penalties will apply,” he assured.
Mr Preecha noted, “The purpose of the renovation is to provide an improved pathway for running and jogging, as well as to create a bicycle lane and parking facilities for everyone to enjoy activities around the lake.
“Everything will be more organised once the project is completed,” Mr Preecha assured
The project will also include the installation of solar street lights and new, clearer, traffic signs as well as landscaping, including the installation of flower gardens and the planting of trees in the area, Mr Preecha said.
