via Phnom Penh Post, 11 Dec 2019: A round-up of the ICC-Angkor meeting in Siem Reap that was held last week. The PPP story focuses on road building projects that were discussed at the meeting, and I have featured other stories in the last few days, including the original pose of the Jayavarman VII statue and the new bicycle lanes in Angkor.
Hang Pov, the director-general of the Apsara Authority, said that as well as cooperating with many international partners to repair, conserve and maintain the temples, the management body also had projects planned for next year to improve infrastructure and enhance the park’s beauty.
“The projects include the building of roads at Angkor Thom, the repair of National Road 6 towards Bakong temple and the roads around it, the repair of the road in front of Banteay Kdei temple and the northern part of the Srah Srong pond,” Pov said.
The Apsara Authority also said it had collaborated with France to implement the SDGERA project, which is aimed at reducing flooding during the rainy season.
“SDGERA aims to manage water resources to increase the effectiveness of its use, particularly in the dry season,” the Apsara Authority said.
