National Road 3 (Phnom Penh-Kampot) will cost more than US$219 million

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Still not going to be up to the standed of the Romans road builders. I guess somewhere along the way in the last few hundred years the plans and specifications have been lost.

The Improvement Project of National Road 3 linking Phnom Penh capital to Kampot province has now been almost 70 percent complete after it started in May 2018.

The achievement was shared this morning by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT), adding that the project will be completed in 2022 as planned.

This 134.8-kilometre-long National Road 3 Improvement Project is estimated to cost more than US$200 million funded by the Royal Government’s budget and the referential buyer’s credit loan from the Government of China.
