Ranong Port would require expansion to accommodate the Land Bridge project, raising concerns about environmental impacts in the area.
The National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) is preparing to convene a subcommittee meeting on the Land Bridge project to assess the project's feasibility and possible development model.According to Danucha Pichayanan, secretary-general of the NESDC, who chairs the subcommittee on approaches to advancing the Land Bridge project, the panel is one of three subcommittees established to study the project.
The subcommittee is preparing to hold meetings and has requested information from the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP) to review the project's assumptions, as well as operational issues. The panel is expected to complete its work within the 90-day timeframe approved earlier by the cabinet.
He said the subcommittee will examine the project's feasibility and determine what form the project should take.
According to Mr Danucha, the project model will depend on its underlying assumptions.
