Mr. Kheng Someth, chairman of Prime Minister Hun Sen's Engineering Unit, said that the second phase of road construction to Preah Vihear temple has been 80% completed. The 20% works will be completed in the next few days.

Mr. Kheng Someth has been briefing Gen. Kun Kim, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, who visited the construction site recently.

Mr. Someth said that the old road, which was constructed by the ex-Phnom Penh Governor, Mr. Chea Sophara in 2003, covered more than 8,000 square metres.

Mr. Someth added that, according to the plans for phase one and phase two of construction, the works, which used funds from the Bayon TV Foundation, will cost more than 1.5 million US dollars.

However, Mr. Pa Socheatvong, Deputy Governor of Phnom Penh, who has recently visited the construction site, said that after phase one and phase two have been completed, phases 3 and 4 will begin. Phases 3 and 4 will involve the building of pipe systems, the erection of signs and guard rails along the bent section of the road.
