The construction progress on the Den Chai-Chiang Rai-Chiang Khong railway line is advancing rapidly, with a significant number of pillars already erected. The project is currently ahead of schedule by 0.145%.
The speaker says the completion of the project is expected in 2571 (year 2028 of Christian era) and it will significantly reduce travel times between the cities compared to traveling by car.
Here are some key details from the video:
* The railway is 323 kilometers long and will run through four provinces: Phrae, Lampang, Phayao, and Chiang Rai.
* The project includes construction of stations, bridges, tunnels and other railway structures. A new innovation from Switzerland called "AR Bit" is being used for the first time in Thailand to construct curved bridges. This design was chosen to address concerns raised by local residents about the impact of the original narrow bridge design on their access routes.
* The project is expected to be completed in 2571 (2028) and will reduce travel times by 1-1.5 hours compared to traveling by car. This new railway is expected to become an important route for tourism and economic development in the future.

As a result, they have invited the Committee for Monitoring and Compliance with Environmental Measures during the Construction Phase to attend a meeting and inspect the construction area of the Den Chai-Chiang Rai-Chiang Khong railway project from July 17-19, 2024.
Mr. Anan Jenngamkul, Chief Engineer of the Special Projects and Construction Department of the State Railway of Thailand and Committee Chairman, welcomed the committee members. The committee consists of representatives and experts from the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP), Pollution Control Department, Department of Highways, Office of Environment and Pollution Control, Office of Natural Resources and Environment, University of Phayao, and provincial-level agencies. The meeting was held at the project office's conference room in Wiang Chai District, Chiang Rai Province. Afterward, they inspected the construction areas of all three contracts, including the Chiang Rai Railway Station construction site, Doi Luang Tunnel, Mae Ka Tunnel, Song-Ngao Tunnel, and the curved railway bridge. A summary meeting of the inspection was held at the project office's conference room in Den Chai District, Phrae Province.
The committee provided opinions on various issues, including environmental quality measurements, dust prevention and mitigation measures, installation of temporary/permanent noise barriers, drainage, community access routes, compensatory reforestation, impacts on wildlife and rare animals, preparation for feeder systems, communication and understanding with local communities in and around the project area, complaint centers, and project public relations. The project team will consider these points to revise the report for submission to ONEP.
