Sihanoukville Demolition and Devlopment
Re: Sihanoukville Demolition and Devlopment
I just did the drive down and back on the weekend.OrangeDragon wrote:The road to PP has been being expanded steadily. Last time I drove it there were 2 lanes each way for about 50% of it, and construction being done on the rest.
If I were to guess, I'd estimate a full 4 lane highway by the end of 2014.
(though they really need to go through where the markets are on the way and start fining people setting up their stalls on the traffic lanes. or just approve driving over them.)
All up There are 2 lanes (each way) for about 5% of the journey... maybe less. And road widening construction going on for about another 5% currently. Even when there are 4 lanes you get assholes driving in the middle of the two lanes blocking you from passing!!!
At this rate they will have a 4 lane highway in 2025. Then the road will be full of potholes the following year.

My guess is that it's halfway between OD's & Eros' figures & timeline. Back up to PP Sat. & back down Sun. I'll pay attention.

Re: Sihanoukville Demolition and Devlopment
meh- the roads are good enough for tanks and APC coming down from china
a lot of the rural roads are built with chinese money.
they just pour the hot top onto a bit of rolled gravel.

Not hard to work out, roughly a 3 hour journey, roughly 15 mins total of interrupted double lanes, the longest being around that Kampong Speu area or whatever its called.

Looks like more parking for the tuk-tuk/motor mafia. With all the new hotels and business's on that street, where is the sewage going? It just doesn't disappear by magic. (hint: liquid/semi-liquid flows downhill.) It kind of reminds me of the picture of a two story "outhouse."

The worst I've seen was Khmer New Years down by Khin's Shack at the E end of Ochetuel. The public toilets were way over taxed and the parking lots were giant lakes of piss & shit. We wanted to get some scallops & clams at Khin's, but we lost our appetites for some reason.
