Much better news than the last news we heard, that the station would be closed and demolished. Hope the new design doesn't make traffic on the bridge even worse than it is. Maybe not bad if it only takes up some of the Thonburi-bound bridge lanes, not the jammed Bangkok-bound side, and even then maybe construction of extra road surface to expand the width of the bridge would be possible.
Happy to hear my home station will be staying open. (After it closes.) (This is Thailand!)
