The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) plans to build a new asphalt concrete (AC) mixing factory in response to the increase of infrastructure construction projects.

The new factory was announced after the construction of the country’s first AC production factory has been completed.

Speaking at the annual meeting held on Thursday 27 January, MPWT Minister HE Sun Chanthol said the second might be located in Battambang or in that area.

“If we establish the factory in Battambang, we can use it for road construction works such as NR57, NR58, NR68, among others,” said HE Sun Chanthol.

The first AC plant is located on the border between Kep and Kampot province. The reason why MPWT chose the Kampot-Kep border as the location for the factory is that the location is close to the NR31, 33 and 41, which will soon be renovated.

HE Sun Chanthol hopes that having this factory will help make road construction progress easier, faster, and more cost-effective.
