The government has informed the public to avoid rural road NY.3001 in Nakhon Nayok Province due to high flooding making it impassable, recommending the use of Highway 305 as an alternative route instead.[]
On 6 Oct 2026 GMT+7, Ms. Ploytale Lakshamisangchan, Deputy Spokesperson for the Office of the Prime Minister, stated that given the current flood situation, Mr. Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, has ordered the Department of Rural Roads (DRR), its regional offices, and rural road districts in flood-affected areas to manage routes and facilitate public travel. If routes are blocked, they must provide detours and coordinate with provincial agencies to assist local residents immediately upon request. In cases of damaged roads or bridges, initial repairs such as installing Bailey bridges should be expedited. If fallen trees block routes, machinery must be deployed promptly to clear them so people can travel quickly. They must also publicize updates to locals until conditions return to normal.[government, flooding, transport, infrastructure, Nakhon Nayok]
