Railway Rehabilitation Project

Cambodia

This project is part of this wider program and involves rehabilitation of both the Northern and Southern Lines, 335 km and 254 km in length respectively, together with reconstruction of a 48-km stretch linking the Northern Line to the Thai border. This was completely destroyed during the war and its absence remains a serious hindrance to cross-border trade and sub-regional integration. At completion, the project will provide an efficient and cost-effective travel alternative, boost the country’s nascent export industry and bring many indirect social benefits to the poor.
