Project Description :
The objective of this project is to improve cross-border connectivity along selected road corridors between Cambodia and Viet Nam.
The indicative project components, to be determined and detailed as part of this assignment/ consulting services, are as follows:
- the improvement of four NR sections (160 km) to facilitate border connectivity, including: (a) NR 78 (at Ratanakiri), (b) NR 74 (at Kratié), (c) NR 72 (at Tbong Khmum), and (d) NR 2 (at Takéo);
- the construction of CBFs at the end of each above-mentioned border road (Oyadav, Trapang Sre, Trapang Plong, and Phnom Den); the CBF may include, among others, immigration building, administration building, different parking areas, main office building, staff accommodation building, and cargo terminal.
