State Railway of Thailand on Thursday signed a 21-billion baht contract for the construction of stations on the new Red Line rail linking Bang Sue and Rangsit.

Italian Thai Development Plc is contracted to build six stations -- Bang Khen, Thoong Song Hong, Lak Si, Karn Kaeha, Don Mueang and Rangsit-- and to construct the foundations for the planned future Wat Samian Nari and Lak Hok stations.

The construction blueprint provides for the use of about 50% of the existing concrete pillars built for the failed Hopewell project. The SRT has already hired a consulting firm to survey the usability of these existing structures.

In the blue print there are 50% of old pillars will be used. Previous news is about90% of pillars will be demolished. This number must have somthing to do with the cost of demolition. 90% taken down will cost more than 50%. the blue print said 50%. therefore the difference of 40% demolition cost has to be in someone pockets. And that is a lot of dough. Follow up this practice and report to the public please.Thank you

nice plan so far. Hoping it will materialize and will serve smoothly it's purpose. Bangkok is over populated with people, cars, buildings and such projects can make a difference on the movements of the people in such a crowded city.
