The affected section of the road spans 750 metres between Muk Dok Khao and Phuket International Airport (between Km.2+500 and Km.3+250), the Phuket Highways Office said in an announcement.
The closure is necessary to allow the installation of a ‘box culvert’ drainage system beneath the road surface, the Phuket Highways Office explained.
While the work is carried out, vehicles travelling southbound from Phuket Airport will continue to have access to one lane.
Vehicles travelling northbound, heading from the Muk Dok Khao intersection toward Phuket Airport, will need to use an alternative route. Drivers are advised to take a left turn at Km.2+500 towards Baan Phru Somphan to reach the airport.
