The preliminary study for the NR33 renovation project connecting downtown Kampot to the Cambodia-Vietnam border has been completed and is currently being reviewed by the relevant ministries.

The Ministry of Environment will play the leading role in the reviewing procedure as the focus will be on social and environmental impacts.

Upon final completion of the study, the project will be implemented by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport.

As planned, this NR33 improvement project is 52km long, starting from the NR3 junction nearby Kampot market (148km+100) to the Cambodia-Vietnam border gate (Lok or Prek Chak).

Ministry of Public Works and Transport spokesman HE Vasim Sorya said today that the project has recently been approved and the successful firm is required to submit the study reports to the government to check and make an assessment.

However, he did not reveal the estimated budget for this project.

According to PM Samdech Hun Sen in October last, this project will be implemented using a Chinese loan along with two other routes in Kampot including NR31 and NR41. (Read more)
