Large private-sector projects are now spreading along the corridor, following the government’s infrastructure investment. Development starts from Bang Na Intersection, a major connection point on the BTS Green Line, and extends towards Samut Prakan and Chachoengsao, forming a strategic gateway to the Eastern Economic Corridor, or EEC.
