| The Project will complete the Greater Mekong Subregion Southern Coastal Corridor (GMS-SCC) in Cambodia and Viet Nam. The Project will include the following components: (i) Rehabilitation of Transport Infrastructure. In Cambodia 15 km of NR33 will be improved to the border with Viet Nam at Preak Chak. In Viet Nam 89.5 km of National Highway (QL) 80 and QL63 will be improved, include construction of two large bridges across the Cai Be and Cai Lon Rivers; (ii) Cross Border Facilities. A new cross border facility will be provided, the design will take into account the ongoing work on the implementation of the GMS Cross-Border Transport Agreement; (iii) HIV/AIDS and trafficking awareness and prevention; and (iv) Road maintenance in Cambodia. |
| The ADB's Regional Cooperation Strategy and Program Update for the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) includes four strategic pillars the first of which addresses strengthening connectivity and facilitating cross-border movement and tourism. Although subregional traffic is still modest, the governments of the GMS countries, give high priority to the development of transport infrastructure links that will facilitate regional and international trade and economic cooperation. The high priority given to cooperation in the transport sector is because of the poor state of the transport infrastructure in most of the GMS that is a major constraint to economic growth, trade and other forms of cooperation. By reducing travel times and vehicle operating costs along the GMS-SCC the Project will encourage economic activities in the affected provinces, provide employment opportunities for the local population, and improve access to social services. At the national level, the Project responds to both Governments? infrastructure development emphasis on improving the national road network to allow more effective access and induce economic growth and to improve the GMS road network. |
