Currently, the road to Kep Station is just 4 meters wide, making traffic challenging. Kep has been upgraded to an international rail terminal and improving the access road is expected to boost station operations, facilitate trade and drive economic growth.
“The resolution allows us to move forward with project planning and contractor selection,” said Tran Cong Tuong, director of the district Project Management Board.
The 1.6-kilometer stretch will be expanded to 5.5–6 meters, paved with asphalt concrete, and feature 0.75-meter reinforced shoulders on both sides.
