First New Cardamom Road Ready
Looks like a nice trip..
Source; Sorry cant provide link as we are not allowed ot link to this source..Koh Kong: Officials will inaugurate National Road 55 in Thmor Dam, Pursat province, in March. There will also soon be the opening of National Road 10 linking Samlot, Battambang to Koh Kong.
National Road 55 was built under a concession financing from the Government of the People’s Republic of China, with a total contribution of $ 132.80 million to the Royal Government of Cambodia.
The total road length is 180 km, 9 meters wide and 45 bridges. It runs from National Road No 5 (191 + 150) through the Cardamom Mountains – Veal Veng-Thmor District, Pursat Province (along the Cambodia-Thailand Border with Trat Province).
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

They could name each bend with a sign depicting recently extinct animals of the area.

Re: First New Cardamom Road Ready
Yep ^^ but more of a worry
- those that are at high risk of going extinct 5 minutes after the road opens up their habitat.
In fact, extinctions are not that common in Cambodia recently, and we are actually the last hold-out for a number of animals and birds that have disappeared everywhere else.
But they are nearly all on the edge.
This is what Cambodia specialises in, seriously, critically endangered species.
We will save some.

Re: First New Cardamom Road Ready
My optimism is not uninformed
nor un-sceptical
nor un-questioned by myself at 2am every second morning when i wake up in a sweat
just my assessment - being as hard-core realist as i can
-some
chuckle
the elusive Kting Voar for example
the snake eating cow
Cambodia's unicorn
it's out there somewhere...
belly chuckle

Re: First New Cardamom Road Ready
Looks like they cut down as many trees as possible around the road construction. The bare hillside will probably end up on the road with the first heavy rains.

It's a beauty.
Need to crank up the big bike and get down there before it's F.U.B.A.R'd, run those curves.

if its the same quality as the main road into koh Kong it probably wont last till the heavy rains.willyhilly wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 8:07 pm Looks like they cut down as many trees as possible around the road construction.

Re: First New Cardamom Road Ready
