Gov’t Seeks Funding forNew Road Connecting Lvea Em District to NR1 & NR11

The Cambodian government is seeking funds for the construction of a new road section connecting Lvea Em district to NR1 and NR11 to ease the travel of both local people and cargo transportation.

Cambodia Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen unveiled this plan during the inauguration ceremony of NR11 in Prey Veng province on Monday 6 December.

PM Hun Sen said that the route will be 30km long connecting Lvea Em district, crossing the river, to NR11 and to NR11. According to a preliminary study, the project would cost US$70 million.

“If we connect the Ring Road 3 from Lvea Em district to Prey Veng, it will be less than 30km, but it will help reduce a lot of difficulties for people. Thus, we need to seek funds for that project,” said PM Hun Sen.

PM Hun Sen added the government had planned to spend national savings for this project. However, COVID-19 absorbed over US$2.3 billion from the national budget, which is why the project is still on hold.

Nevertheless, the government is still seeking funds for the important infrastructure.
