Khocheng Bridge Update twenty twenty six: What it means for land values and investment in TRAT In May twenty twenty six, EXA will hold more public consultations summarising the bridge's feasibility studies. These cover engineering economic, financial and environmental impacts in one consolidated briefing. By late twenty twenty six or early twenty twenty seven, utility agencies meet EXAT to co plan integrated infrastructure. The goal is safer design and lower future costs before finalising the blueprint. Submission to the cabinet is expected in twenty twenty eight, with approval determining the next steps. If approved land acquisition begins twenty twenty nine, construction starts two thousand and thirty, and services open two thousand thirty four, a one year delay. The route is unchanged, from Ao Tamachat Lang on the mainland to north of Amber Sands Beach Resort. The sea crossing has two sections, with most spans fifty-sixty meters using box and balanced girders. A roughly two hundred meter main span extradosed or balanced cantilever will allow larger ships through. Engineering looks feasible a sheltered six kilometre straight with depths of ten-twelve metres. But Kochang's single road means more traffic tailbacks and accident risk on narrow hilly sections. Work stopped in two thousand and four. As of early twenty twenty three, budgeting to finish the ten kilometre Southern Link was expected. Expect pressure on ecology water supply and electricity even though seventy five of the island is national park. For investors, near root land could surge in value, but timelines and infrastructure strain demand patience.
