There are also local conditions to consider. Overloaded vehicles tear up the surface.The extreme weather can undermine any road. Even the US built PP - SHV friendship highway completed in the 60s had these issues.It was in poor condition after one rainy season.

I was returning to Koh Kong, highway 4 and then road 55. How many times had the road had trouble, and for certain, overloading truck's and the rain season will take care of the badly built road with ease.
We were to come to a halt in the middle of nowhere with a rear tire that had two rips of at least 6". So the bike was going nowhere, and it seemed like we would not too. But luckily there's a mum and pops shop, I left the bike with them, and stuck out my thumb. 10pm we had a lift to Koh Kong.

this stretch of road has been an absolute nightmare since 2018, used to love riding this route once a month for a bit of R'n'R in Kampot (when it was a sleepy lil ghost town after 9pm)

Hello, I’m sorry if this isn’t the best spot to post but I can’t find where to start a new post on my phone

Is it correct that the road between Veal Renh (Prey Nob area) and Kampot is currently destroyed?

We are visiting and we’re hoping to travel between Veal Renh and Kampot to see friends, but it looks like we’ll have to stay in Sihanoukville now instead

Two days ago they were repairing (filling in) some of the worst craters. Not sure how much they’ve got done, but it was still really bad (there’s been a lot of rain last night and this morning which won’t help)
If you’re driving a larger vehicle (a pick up truck or SUV) it’ll be a struggle, but you’ll get there, anything smaller, will probably suffer damage.

Cambodia could use some flackers like Ememem in France - a street artist who fills up potholes with mosaic artwork.
