The US$2-million commercial road connecting Trat province of Thailand to Veal Veng district of Pursat province is 90% complete and is scheduled to be completed ahead of schedule.

According to the Pursat provincial administration on 20 December, the Thai government has spent almost US$2 million to build this road linking the two countries. The road is built with AC type, with 4 lanes, and is 14 metres wide, and 1.9 kilometres long.

This road is located between the border checkpoints in Tha Sen village, Lem Kat commune, Moeung district, Trat province of Thailand to National Road 55 (Thmor Da checkpoint) in Sangkom Thmey village, Thmor Da commune of Veal Veng district.

The road was constructed following the approval from the Thai Parliament with the request from the Governor of Trat province on 27 November 2019.

This trade route will become an important economic channel linking the countries’ trades and businesses, especially given the completion of Cambodia’s National Road 55 (connecting from National Road 5 to Trat Thailand) put in use recently. (Read more)
