US$100 million budget approved for infrastructure in Sihanoukville

On 04 September 2019, the Cambodian government approved a US$100 million budget for the construction and rehabilitation of infrastructures in Sihanoukville.

The budget was approved after some significant physical infrastructures such as roads and natural waterways were damaged amid rising construction, increasing residents, garbage, and heavy rainfalls.

In a 2-page press release, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) said that the National Committee for Coastal Management and Development agreed to allocate US$100 million for the construction of recently discussed main roads, ring roads, drainage, and a wastewater system. (Read more)

In order to make ways for water to flow easily, there will be restoration of the five existing waterways and sewage system which are currently being violated by locals living near the site.

In addition, 22 roads will be restored across the city in accordance with technical standards. Construction will also focus on technical infrastructure issues like construction quality, road size, cable installation, telecom networks, clean water pipes, and wastewater and drainage systems.

According to the result of the feasibility study discussed recently, the project is set to be implemented in three phases from 2019-2021, 2021-2023, and 2023-2030. (Read more)
