Traffic chaos in Bang Pakong: high-voltage lines cause closure!

In an important announcement, the Electricity Authority of Thailand, EGAT, announces that high-voltage power lines will be laid between poles 1D and 1E in Khao Din township, Bang Pakong district. This measure is necessary to ensure the safety and reliability of Thailand's electricity system, which is essential to many areas of life, from industry to tourism. On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, there will be a short-term traffic closure on Highway No. 7, which passes over the highway at Kilometer 53+530, in close proximity to the Bang Pakong Power Plant. The closure will take place between 10:00 a.m. and 10:10 a.m. and between 11:00 a.m. and 11:10 a.m. The authorities ask road users for their understanding and advise them to be attentive and to observe traffic signs and signals.

EGAT, as a state-owned company, is responsible for electricity generation and nationwide electricity transport. These high-voltage lines are crucial to ensuring that electricity can flow from power plants to substations and is ultimately available to all users. Damage or failure to these lines can result in widespread power outages, which is why constant monitoring and maintenance is necessary. If you have any questions or complaints, please contact Mr. Patphum Phumsena on 098-935-3895 or hotline 1416.

Road users are asked to take EGAT's advice seriously and comply with traffic rules to ensure the safety of everyone affected. This measure is part of ongoing efforts to improve Thailand's electrical infrastructure to ensure stable operations. Substations are also very important in the transmission of electricity as they regulate voltage levels and enable the efficient exchange of energy between different systems. Maintaining the transmission lines is therefore viewed by EGAT as essential to promote economic stability and investment security.
