Free Access to M7, M9 Motorways and Don Mueang Tollway to Ease Flood Impact Until Midnight on 27 Sep 2026

The Department of Highways, in partnership with DMT, has announced toll exemptions for Motorways M7, M9, and the Don Mueang Tollway until midnight on 27 September 2026 to ease traffic and assist the public in coping with flooding, while warning small vehicles to check for risky toll plazas.

Today (26 September 2026), the Department of Highways and Don Mueang Tollway Public Company Limited (DMT) announced a temporary toll fee exemption from 2:30 PM on 26 September until midnight on 27 September 2026. This aims to ease traffic congestion, distribute vehicle volume, and provide travel options for those affected by flooding in various areas, especially on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. However, the company warns small vehicle drivers to avoid the Chaeng Watthana (inbound), Laksi (outbound), and Lat Phrao (outbound) toll plazas due to high water levels in these areas.

The toll exemption covers the following key routes:

  • Uttraphimuk Elevated Highway (Don Mueang Tollway): Free use from 2:30 PM on 26 September 2026 until midnight on 27 September 2026.
  • Motorways No. 7 and No. 9: Free use from 1:00 PM on 26 September 2026 until midnight on 27 September 2026.

The Department of Highways urges all road users to plan their trips in advance, check road conditions before traveling, drive cautiously, and strictly follow traffic signs and officials' instructions. For additional road condition information, call the Department of Highways hotline at 1586, toll-free across all networks, available 24 hours.
