7 roads now closed due to protests

Two more roads were closed to traffic on Sunday because of the growing number of anti-government protesters at Phan Fa intersection, Traffic Police commander Pol Maj Gen Jirasan Kaewsaeng-ek said.

They are Lan Luang road between Lan Luang and Phan Fa intersections and Mahachai Road between Mahakan and Samranrat intersections.

These are in addition to five other roads which were closed earlier. They are Ratchadamnoen Avenue from Democracy Monument to Phan Fa and Makkhawan Rangsan Bridge; Nakhon Sawan Road between Thewakan and Nang Lerng intersections;  Si Ayutthaya Road between Wat Benjamabopit and Phol 1 intersections; Phitsanulok Road between Yommarat and Wang Daeng intersections; and Phra Ram 5 Road between Wat Benjamabopit and Panich intersections.

Pol Maj Gen Jirasan said Ratchawithi Road from Karn Ruan intersection to Ratchawithi intersection is still open to traffic.

He expected traffic in inner Bangkok to become congested from 2pm.
