Kampot and Kep construction report
Jakarta-Semarang high-speed train, ECRL project nears 30% completion, proposed airport hydrogen hub at Changi Airport, and more construction and transport news in Southeast Asia
This week completes the series of construction reports for my recent Cambodia visit. While Sihanoukville is the big development story in Cambodia, there are a number of projects in Kampot and Kep that needed a report of its own.
As with Sihanoukville, I found that public information is lacking about developments in Kampot and Kep provinces. I’ve made Future Kampot and Future Kep pages to collect information in one place.
