Construction of the Koh Tonsay tourism port, landfill, and seaside road in Kep province is 62% complete according to the details in an official meeting on 04 August 2022.

Deputy Technical Advisor of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Horm Nimol said that the sub-projects of the landfill, coastal road and Koh Tonsay tourism port have been 98.8%, 10.4%, and 8.5% completed respectively.

He added that the coastal road construction project is facing some technical problems and the Koh Tonsay port project went through some changes according to the request from the Koh Tonsay community.

Meanwhile, the transportation of machinery and construction materials from the mainland to the island has become expensive and difficult during the rainy season.

Kep Deputy Governor Voa Sokha stressed that provincial authorities will do their best to help solve all the issues, aiming to push the project to finish on time.

The three projects are part of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Phase II Tourism Growth for the Greater Mekong Subregion Project, in which the Koh Tonsay Port sub-project will be built under a US$1.6-million budget.  (Read more)
