Is it worth going down there now to enjoy the beach at all, with all the construction kerfuffle?

Sad to see. However, I have thinking of spending a few days in Otres. It wasn't too bad a couple of years ago. I see taxis are asking $60 - $85. Anyone know of a cheaper taxi service?

I would wait a bit and go after the rainy season. By that time most of road works in city and otres area should be completed.

Seems they have now started to work on the pedestrian pathways and bicycle lanes on Independence street.

I would hope that is not the only pipe into the waste water treatment plant and being only a few inches below the surface it looks scary as it wold only be a matter of time until punctured or squashed by a large overweight truck.

Go the NW corner of Central Market (crossing the road from the market). That's where the cars wait for customers to SHV. You can look at the available cars and choose a good one. A private car will cost a tad less than $60 if you negotiate.
The place for cars to Kampot is by Canadia Bank at Psar Damkor.
