This Skywalk is a joint effort of the private sector, the government sector, and the community to create value for society, and to support the government’s energy saving directive of using public transportation instead of driving cars to reduce traffic congestion at Bang Pho intersection and Bangsue District, as well as develop Gateway at Bangsue into a shopping center that provides comprehensive convenience for everyone," Mr. Bhima added.
