Areas underneath Bangkok's expressways are to be turned into traffic short cuts, biking routes, park-and-ride sites, public parks, mini-green areas, sports and activity zones and even an exhibition hall, under new plans.
Various Bangkok Metropolitan Administration agencies have made use of 90 plots of land scattered under three expressways, with a total size of 551 rai.
Apichart Modpradit of the BMA's City Planning Office acknowledged that some of the plots had become illegally occupied by street vendors.
