The Spean Harl – the central bridge to Angkor Wat Temple – is scheduled to be reopened in early November. A repair team is working hard to prepare appropriate barriers to ensure the safety of the many tourists who will use it to access the ancient temple.
Tourism industry insiders have expressed the view that the bridge will attract even more visitors to the famed temple.
Long Kosal, spokesman for the APSARA National Authority (ANA), explained on October 16 that the bridge had been closed to the public as it was very old, the paving stones were no longer all level and the foundations were extensively damaged.
