After six months of construction, National Road 10 (NR10) linking Battambang and Koh Kong provinces is now 36% complete, according to the Ministry of Public Works and Transport inspection on 06 August.

Stretching over 199km, the road links Samlot district of Battambang province to Koh Kong province passing through Veal Veng district in Pursat province.

The project is being developed by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) with an investment value of over US$188 million, which is a mixture of a Chinese loan and Cambodian government budget.

With ground broken in March this year, the road construction is scheduled to be completed by 2023, taking a total of 48 months). (Read more)

Senior Minister and Minister of Public Works and Transport H.E. Sun Chanthol said that building NR10 is difficult, in particular in terms of avoiding and reducing impacts on local communities, the environment, and wildlife.

“The most important part is the construction of a bridge crossing the Atai River (512m long and 72m tall), which will be the tallest bridge in Cambodia,” said the minister.

“Upon completion, NR10 will unleash the great potential in boosting agricultural product exports, and help ease goods transportation to become more effective,” he added.
