Cambodia plans to build a road to Preah Vihear Temple

An official from the Preah Vihear National Authority (PVNA) indicated that a Chinese company is studying for the building of a road to the Preah Vihear Temple in the very near future, and the construction will be undertaken prior to the listing of the temple in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Koh Santepheap newspaper quoted Ty Yav, PVNA director, who said last week that the Chinese company is studying to build a road reaching Preah Vihear Temple because the road which was built earlier is somewhat damaged in certain areas. He said: “We will send our technicians to study and draw up a blueprint for the repair of the road infrastructure, as well as repairing the gate of the temple before the Preah Vihear Temple will be listed as a World Heritage Site.” The 6-km-long road to the Preah Vihear Temple, built by Chea Sophara, the former governor of Phnom Penh city, is damaged at a number of areas. Nevertheless, there is no indication yet on the cost to build this road.

I appreciate Chea Sophara's achievement in building road onto mount cliff temple of Preah Vihear.

Delegates, Engineers, Researchers, Archaeologists, Architectures, Journalists, Nationalists and Visitors can reach the Temple.

We should be ready to celebrate our July party as our ancestor always held it in 1960s.
