Kampong Speu: On the nearly 2,000-meter stretch of National Road 46 up to the Preah Suramarit Kosamak Resort (Kirirom National Park), which is narrow and damaged, making it difficult to travel, the Department of Public Works and Transport of Kampong Speu Province has decided to repair and improve it to facilitate travel.
Mr. Hong Chansokha, Director of the Department of Public Works and Transport of Kampong Speu Province, said on July 28, 2026 that the Preah Suramarit Kosamak Resort (Kirirom National Park) is a natural resort that has been receiving great attention from national and international tourists who visit it every day, making this road very busy. Seeing the narrow and bumpy condition of the road, which makes it difficult for tourists to travel, the department has deployed many machines to repair and improve it.
He added that along with the repair and improvement, the department also expanded the road to a wider width. The purpose is to reduce traffic congestion and accidents by overtaking without respecting the right of way and overtaking in dangerous situations, etc.
The head of the department added that this repair also connects the AC asphalt road between kilometer 7+00 and kilometer 8+900, with a total length of 1900 meters, in Yay Mao Pech Nil commune and Treng Tra Yeung commune, Phnom Sruoch district. The technical team repaired the damaged areas, leveled the bumps, and then paved the asphalt (Reseal DBST), with some places having to be paved with 2 to 3 layers of asphalt to make the road surface good, eliminate waves, and strengthen the foundation to expand the road to ensure long-term and wide use.
With the repair and improvement of the technical team on this section of National Road 46, Mr. Hong Chansokha stated that the Governor of Kampong Speu Province, His Excellency Dr. Cheam Chansophon, has inspected and instructed the Provincial Department of Public Works to increase activities to repair and improve the condition of all roads in the province that have been damaged in order to make travel and transportation easier for citizens, especially during this rainy season. After receiving the instructions, the department also launched a project to repair, improve, and maintain several priority roads using the ministry’s 2026 budget, which will be implemented by the provincial Public Works Department. All repair, improve, and maintain projects will be completed before the end of 2026.
