Bangkok, Thailand – The construction of Motorway 82, a critical infrastructure project stretching from Rama III to Ban Phaeo, is entering its final stages with rapid progress. Only 10 of the total 58 spans remain unfinished in Phase II/ Contract No. 8, marking a significant step toward improved regional connectivity and traffic efficiency. Completion of all spans is expected within the next 2–3 months.

Designed to ease congestion and stimulate economic activity along the Southern Corridor, the route begins at the busy Rama III intersection and continues through Bang Khun Thian and Ekachai, culminating in Ban Phaeo. The broader project, comprising 10 separate contracts, remains on schedule for final completion by the end of 2025.

A key milestone was reached with the delivery of precast bridge segments to the job site. These segments are being assembled using two 96-meter-long launching gantries supplied by NRSC Engineering, a company specializing in post-tensioning systems, erection work, expansion joints, and pot bearings. Each gantry features a 6-meter front telescopic leg and a rear leg that functions as a working platform, supporting a generator and relaunching operations.

The construction process incorporates cutting-edge engineering solutions that enhance both speed and safety while improving long-term structural integrity. Work is conducted exclusively at night to minimize disruption to traffic and nearby communities. Despite these constraints, NRSC Engineering has demonstrated exceptional efficiency—completing one span in just four nights, compared to the industry average of seven. This pace reflects the high performance of their equipment and streamlined processes.

As the project enters its final stretch, the successful installation of the remaining spans will pave the way for system integration and finishing touches. Motorway 82 is set to become a transformative addition to Thailand’s transportation infrastructure, linking key economic zones and supporting future development across the region.
