The construction of the 38-road project in Siem Reap has reached 92.72% completion as of November 2021, while the working teams are now accelerating the progress, aiming for completion by year’s end.

This is according to the inspection by HE Sun Chanthol, Minister of Public Works and Transport, on Tuesday 7 December.

During the inspection, HE Sun Chanthol asked the relevant working group to re-inspect the technicality of concrete rubber (AC) paving and traffic signs.

HE Sun Chanthol also urged the team to finish up work on sidewalks, traffic signs for pedestrians, streetlights, and landscaping as soon as possible.

With a total length of 108km and estimated to consume a total budget of US$140 million, this project stretches across 12 districts of Siem Reap city and a part of Prasat Bakong and the 38 roads will be well-connected with other main road systems to ease traffic congestion and reduce accidents.

The government also decided to reallocate the remaining budget from Sihanoukville’s 34-road renovation project to upgrade the sidewalks along the Siem Reap River. Another separate US$9-million budget has also been reallocated to restore rainwater and sewage systems.
