Following the completion of the 38-road project, the Cambodian government plans to implement three other major infrastructure projects in Siem Reap, including an electric bus system, a new city bypass road, and a national flower monument.

Minister of Public Works and Transport HE Sun Chanthol revealed this information during the road inspection on 9 January.

“The national flower monument or Pka Romdul will be built at the Svay junction, by turning that busy junction into a 25m roundabout. Meanwhile, the new city bypass road will be built under a loan from South Korea. This month, the team is selecting a consulting firm,” said HE Sun Chanthol.
