New roads in Sihanoukville give city new lease on life

The coastal city of Sihanoukville has recently undergone a $294 million restoration and expansion project of 34 roads, making it more accessible, clean and ready for the return of tourism.

In November last year, the government, with the attendance of Prime Minister Hun Sen, began the work, spanning 82 kilometres.

A key issue in Sihanoukville before the project was the lack of up-to-date, modern roads. Roads in Sihanoukville used to be narrow, small and full of potholes. This never looked good when tourists would pass through.

Not only are Sihanoukville’s new roads helping logistics when it comes to transporting goods to Cambodia’s deepest port, but they are easing overall transportation, hopefully making Sihanoukville a top tourist destination in years to come.
