The construction of the new Stung Bot international border gate and the road connecting to NR5 has been 58% completed as of September 2022.

Secretary of State of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport HE Yit Bonna provided the update figure during the meeting to review the project’s progress on 19 September.

The meeting discussed the progress of the project, some challenges related to the import of materials, the issue related to the lack of engineers on site, and heavy rains that affected the project implementation.

The project is being built by CM Grand Development Co., Ltd & Tan Kim Eng Co., Ltd under a budget of approximately US$24 million, a loan from the Thai government through the Neighbouring Countries Economic Development Cooperation Agency (NEDA).

According to the plan, the construction will take 24 months to complete.

The infrastructure for the checkpoint project includes border checkpoint buildings, dormitory buildings, transit terminals, warehouses and container yards, and administrative buildings.

Recently, the Thai and Cambodian sides also planned to equip this new checkpoint with modern X-Ray scanning machines to check all cargo goods crossing the border to accelerate goods clearance procedures.(Read more)
