Preah Sihanouk Provincial Television reported on July 31 that Phorn Rim, spokesperson for Cambodia’s Ministry of Public Works and Transport, said shells fired and heavy weapons used by Thai forces had damaged National Roads 58 and 68 and Provincial Road 2567 in Oddar Meanchey.
After the Cambodia–Thailand ceasefire took effect, an Oddar Meanchey provincial Department of Public Works and Transport team inspected damaged roads across the province, including in border areas, on July 29–30, 2025.
The inspection found that shelling damaged 49.40 square metres of road surface and 10 metres along the foot of a slope on National Road 58, and punched through 2 square metres of bridge concrete. The damaged asphalt on National Road 68 covered 36 square metres. Shells hit Provincial Road 2567 at seven locations, damaging 150.60 square metres of asphalt.
Phorn Rim said National Road 56 in Banteay Ampil district and Samraong city remained generally safe to use, although some damaged sections still needed repairs. He urged road users to take extra care on damaged sections, particularly at night, to avoid traffic accidents.
