Sihanoukville is a Mess; Authorities React

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.

New Coastal Road for Sihanoukville
Image
Cambodia News, (Sihanouk Ville): People are very surprised after seeing the land excavation works in the sea near the dragon tail on the afternoon 20 January 2021, but according to the confirmation of Mr. Kheang Phearom, the speaker of Sihanoukville, this is further development of the city and the result of building a new coastal road.

He continued that the new road will be 1034 meters long, and the road building project is studying thoroughly the impact of the works on the environment. The government of Cambodia also supports this project and hopes that this new road will make it easy for citizens to travel through, and will attract more tourists and international visitors to Sihanoukville.

What a complete load of shit, they’ve just redone the road all the way from the golden lion roundabout to Otres 2, its a wide road with footpaths n everything, this extra bit of road would barely need to be used

Yeah, they'll be studying it until they realize they've created a septic lagoon and totally fucked up the coast.

That’s what I was thinking, it’s a roundabout way to acquire beach front land/property without having to buy out or evict the current owners / tenants, just create new land in front of the existing.

This new "road" is connecting Sokha Beach and Seredipity Beach.
There's been a plan for a footpath / bicycle road since 2010 or so but who could guess they would put it in the sea!
Totally ruining this beautiful stretch of rocky shoreline.
There's also a "protected" reef just some 50 meters out from land...
