PHUKET: Holey moley . . . Phuket's motorists will regain use of both southbound lanes in the Phuket City bypass road from about 1pm today.
That's the deadline specified by Phuket Highways Office Director Samak Luedwonghad for completion of the refill on a gaping hole that appeared and grew almost a week ago.
Filling the gap has taken five days. As well as eating into the road, the hole severely eroded a budget of 300,000 baht.
Rain has delayed completion, Khun Samak said.
The experience will be good practice for the hole fillers.
New Phuket Governor Nisit Jansomwong has asked for the Roads Department to fill all of Phuket's potholes as a matter of urgency before the Asian beach Games begin on November 14.
The Roads Department says it will use emergency budget funding to get the job done by early November.
Large numbers of roadside billboards have been springing up all over Phuket to promote the games.
It's not clear how the Phuket authorities will conduct their campaign to obliterate roadside billboards if the ugliest form of advertising on the island continues to be used by them, too.

It makes me feel sick to see the toy-tools they are using for such a kind of repair-job.
