The Secretary of State of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport HE Bong Bun Hourn confirmed that the construction work is still going smoothly despite the pandemic.

During the site inspection, HE Bun Hourn also urged construction companies and technical consultants to closely monitor the construction work to ensure it follows technical standards to ensure long-term usage.

With ground broken in March this year, the road construction is scheduled to be completed by 2023, taking a total of 48 months. (Read more)
