Opening of Chinese-Funded National Road 3 Between Phnom Penh and Kampot
Cambodia inaugurates China-funded road connecting capital, coastal province
1 Hour Ago
TAKEO (XINHUA) - Cambodia on Wednesday (March 2) inaugurated the China-funded National Road No. 3, which links its capital Phnom Penh and the southwestern coastal province of Kampot.
The 134.8km road stretches from Chom Chao roundabout in the capital's western suburb to Kampot, running through Kandal, Kampong Speu and Takeo provinces.
Cambodian Prime Minister HE and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wentian presided over the inauguration ceremony, which was attended by nearly 1,000 people.
Speaking at the event, HE said the road is crucial to boost economic and tourism development and that Kampot is the only province that produces salt for the kingdom.
"This is another testament to the fruitful cooperation between Cambodia and China under the frameworks of the comprehensive strategic partnership, the ironclad friendship, and the community with a shared future between the two countries," he said.
"I hope that our people will benefit from this road, which connects between our capital city and coastal province," he added.
The road was built by the China Road and Bridge Corporation at the cost of about US$215 million (S$292 million), which was the preferential buyer's credit loan from the government of China. It took 34 months to be completed.

Re: Opening of Chinese-Funded National Road 3 Between Phnom Penh and Kampot
Road looks ok but it does worry me a bit that all these drivers with no drivers license -- that only know how to drive their SUVs and overloaded trucks at full speed without paying attention -- is going to be even faster and more deadly on this road.
I'll happily take the old road still, hoping that above drivers have migrated to the new one

It's not a brand new road like the Snooky Expressway. Where there are now 2 lanes each way it's much better than it was before as overtaking is much less fraughtItWasntMe wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 2:43 pm Road looks ok but it does worry me a bit that all these drivers with no drivers license -- that only know how to drive their SUVs and overloaded trucks at full speed without paying attention -- is going to be even faster and more deadly on this road.

I think Cambodia may be in debt to China
Always "hope" but never "expect".
