| 14. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: (Provide a description of the project and all its components.) |
|
The total length of main line of No.6 (Phase I: Skun-Kampong Thom) is 98.8km. The design criteria for the road is based on highway Class I with a design speed of 80km/h (Local section speed limit 60km/h), the top width of the subgrade is 25m and arranged as: 2x3.5m carriageway + 2x0.25m marginal strip + 2.5m medial divider + 2x3.0m motor lane +2x1.0m soil shoulder = 25m. AC is adopted for the surface course. |
| 15. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: (Give reasons why this particular project is considered worthwhile.) |
|
NR6 is the main national road of Cambodia connecting Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, the two most important cities in Cambodia, and connecting important cities such as Skun and Kampong Thom.The project is from Skun to Kampong Thom.The total length of main line of NR60 (Phase I: Skun-Kampong Thom) is 98.8km. The subgrade width is 25m for four-lane sections(Pavement width 20.5m).There are 21 bridges with total length of 1125m, 138 culverts, and 264 intersections.
At present, for sections from Skun to Kampong Thom, except for about 2.2km 3 lanes sections, the other are two-way two lanes sections with subgrade width of 12 m and pavement width of 11 m..At present, the overall condition of the road along the project is well with the design speed of 80 km/h, and the design speed of 60 km/h for some urban or historic sections. With the development of social economy and the development of rich tourism resources, the traffic volume of NR6 is becoming more and more saturated, and the two-lane highway has gradually been unable to meet the traffic requirements. Therefore, it is urgent to expand the existing roads to meet the needs of local economic and tourism development. After the expansion of the project, the road grade and service level will be improved, which is of great significance for improving the structure of the regional highway network, improving the traffic network in central and northern Cambodia, promoting regional economic exchanges and promoting the comprehensive development of social economy. |
