The expansion of NR7 from Skun to downtown Kampong Cham from two to four lanes is scheduled to begin soon as the working team wraps up the study, according to the Minister of Public and Transport HE Sun Chanthol during a site inspection on Monday 12 July.

HE Sun Chanthol said that the government has already decided to expand this route as a new gift to the Kampong Cham people.

“This NR7 section from Skun to downtown Kampong Cham is approximately 45 km. After expansion, it will not only help ease the commute of the local people but also improve the inter-provincial transportation system,” said the minister.

He added that the groundbreaking will begin soon after the technical officers complete the detailed study.

The ministry has been studying this project for quite a while since 2020. According to the ministry spokesman HE Vasim Sorya, the expansion to the four-lane road could cost between US$1 million to US$2 million per kilometre.  (Read more)
