Phloen Chit Road Footpath Repairs at OCC One City Centre Done 20 Oct for Easy Walking
Pathum Wan District Office and the Department of Public Works completed footpath repairs on Phloen Chit Road outside OCC One City Centre on 20 Oct for pedestrian safety.
Dr Norathep Chupool, Director of Pathum Wan District, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, disclosed the results of an on-site inspection of repair work on a damaged footpath along Phloen Chit Road in front of the OCC One City Centre building on 20 October at 17:12. This operation resulted from collaboration between the Pathum Wan District Office and the Department of Public Works, which repaired the damaged section by laying concrete slabs over an existing pit until level with the normal footpath surface. The mission focuses on creating orderliness and enhancing safety for members of the public walking through the city centre district.
Coordination to Repair the Damaged Section on the Phloen Chit Road Footpath
Pathum Wan District Office officials detected damage to the footpath surface in front of the OCC One City Centre building, a location with continuous pedestrian traffic throughout the day. The Pathum Wan District Office therefore coordinated with the Department of Public Works of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration to urgently carry out improvements to the area. The joint effort between the government agencies enabled the pedestrian infrastructure issue to be resolved quickly and effectively.
Operational staff from the Department of Public Works installed concrete slabs to cover the existing pit area that had previously caused inconvenience to pedestrians. The levelling of the concrete slabs was controlled to ensure a flush surface with the existing footpath without any uneven edges that could cause accidents. The repaired footpath surface has therefore returned to complete condition and is immediately ready to accommodate public travel.

Safety Standards and Orderliness of Pedestrian Areas
Phloen Chit Road in Pathum Wan District is regarded as a major transport route connecting office buildings and tourism service venues in the city centre. Maintaining the footpath in good order at all times helps reduce travel risks and promotes a pleasant visual environment for the area. The outcome of the footpath surface improvements at this point benefits pedestrians in several ways.
- Smoothness of the footpath surface: Laying concrete slabs over the existing pit makes the footpath level even along the entire stretch.
- Convenience of movement: The public can walk past the front of the OCC One City Centre building smoothly without obstacles.
- Urban orderliness: The public space along Phloen Chit Road is more attractive and orderly.
This news of the footpath improvement on Phloen Chit Road is of particular interest to hotel staff and event organisers in the Pathum Wan area who oversee travel convenience for event attendees around the OCC One City Centre building and nearby areas. Furthermore, it is useful information for tourists and the general public who wish to safely explore leisure venues and restaurants in the Phloen Chit area on foot. Developing footpaths to meet standards therefore effectively supports the tourism and travel environment in the city centre.
