Roads In Cambodia
The system of transport in Cambodia, rudimentary at the best of times, was severely damaged in the chaos that engulfed the nation in the latter half of the 20th century. The country's weak transport infrastructure hindered emergency relief efforts, exacerbating the logistical issues of procurement of supplies in general and their distribution. Cambodia received Soviet technical assistance and equipment to support the maintenance of the transportation network. Road transport Highway network * Total - 38,257 km (2004) ** Paved - 2,406 km (2004) ** Unpaved - 35,851 km (2004) Of the current total roadway network, only about 50% of the roads and highways are hard surfaced, all-weather, and in good condition.
