Re: Flood News Across the Country 2020
Does anyone know if Road 3 is closed? I was told that the dams/weirs had either broken or overflowed and the road was closed until October 20th but have not found any article or announcement to support that

According to this source it's closed....Element6 wrote:Does anyone know if Road 3 is closed? I was told that the dams/weirs had either broken or overflowed and the road was closed until October 20th but have not found any article or announcement to support that
But I was just watching a live video with govt officials walking around the dam and traffic seemed to still be slowly flowing across.

Dam damaged due to heavy rainfall
Som Kanika / Khmer Times
Water inundates the western part of Phnom Penh and Kandal province after heavy rains caused the Stung Prek Tnaot Dam to overflow. In Kampong Speu, the sluice gate of the Chamkar Te Dam collapsed, prompting an urgent warning for people living in the area to be on standby for imminent flooding. Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology
The sluice gate at Chamkar Te Dam in Kampong Speu province’s Kirirom mountains, which holds 5 million cubic metres of water, has collapsed due to heavy rains.
Kampong Speu provincial governor Vei Samnang on his Facebook page yesterday appealed to residents living in the area below the dam, including four communes of Chambok, Taing Sya, Taing Samrong, and Moha Saing of Phnom Sruoch district and Taing Krouch commune of Samrong Tong district, as well as along the Prek Tnaot bridge to stay alert and be ready to evacuate.
Samnang also urged the residents to proactively relocate to safe ground as the river had quickly escalated to flood levels in Chbar Morn city, and that the floodwaters were expected to reach more populated areas within hours.
“Please inform parents, aunts and uncles, because the flood will flow to the villages of Rolong, Prey Sleuk, Kaheng, Kab Touk, Phnom Dey, Thmei village, Kravien, Prey Beng, Tang Kroch, and Sampov,” he said. “Hurry to move your necessary belongings to a safe place as well as help each other to check on the elderly and children.”
In western Phnom Penh and Kandal province, the Stung Prek Tnaot dam yesterday overflowed due to continuing heavy rains, affecting at least 200 families who live in Sak Sampov commune, Dangkor district to evacuate to safer ground.
Minister of Water Resources Lim Kean Hor said during his visit at the site that Tuesday night’s heavy rain caused the Stung Prek Tnaot dam’s water level to rapidly rise to 6.52 metres at the front sluice and reached 9.25 metres at the back sluice, causing the river to overflow the spillways to other areas in Kandal province including Spean Thmor, Tien Rolous, Kong Noy and Prek Kampus communes.
The floodwaters from Stung Prek Tnaot also caused National Road 3 outside Phnom Penh on Tuesday to be in danger of collapse, causing the Ministry of Transport to close the road to prevent any possible risks or accidents occurring to the public.
During his inspection along National Road 3, Transport Minister Sun Chanthol said that at least 245 kilometres of roads, equivalent to 199 sections have been affected by floods across 13 provinces.
