Siem Reap 38-Road Renovation Project 17.5% Complete

As at 25 January, the 38-road renovation project in Siem Reap is 17.5% complete and still expected to finish as scheduled by the end of this year, according to the Ministry of Public Works and Transports (MPWT).

The progress was revealed during a meeting between Deputy Prime Minister Tea Banh, other relevant ministers and officials on 28 January.

The objective of the inspection was to check the quality of the construction and to ensure that the constructors follow the standards.

With a total length of 108km and estimated to consume a total budget of US$140 million, this project stretches across 12 districts of Siem Reap city and a part of Prasat Bakong and the 38 roads will be well-connected with other main road systems to ease traffic congestion and reduce accidents.

The government also decided to reallocate the remaining budget from Sihanoukville’s 34-road renovation project to upgrade the sidewalks along the Siem Reap River. Another separate US$9-million budget has also been reallocated to restore rainwater and sewage systems.

Siem Reap is one of the provinces that have high potential in Cambodia, into which the government has been putting continuous effort in enhancing infrastructure. In July this year, at least 20 major investment projects have almost been proposed as part of the 2020-2035 Siem Reap Tourism Development Masterplan.
