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.
