National Highway 2 (Cambodia)

National Highway 2 (NH2) is a major highway in Cambodia, connecting the capital city of Phnom Penh with the southern province of Takeo and extending to the border with Vietnam. It is a crucial transportation artery for both passenger and freight traffic, facilitating trade and travel between the two countries and within Cambodia.

NH2 plays a significant role in the Cambodian economy, supporting agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism. The highway is a key route for the transportation of agricultural products from the fertile Takeo Province to markets in Phnom Penh and beyond. It also connects industrial zones and border crossings, fostering international trade.

The road conditions along NH2 have varied over time, with ongoing efforts to improve and upgrade sections of the highway to meet international standards. These improvements aim to reduce travel time, enhance safety, and support sustainable economic development in the region. Road widening, bridge construction, and resurfacing projects have been implemented to enhance the overall quality of the route.

NH2 also serves as an important link for communities along its path, providing access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and markets. The highway facilitates social and economic integration, connecting rural areas with urban centers.
