The bridge connecting Koh Norea to NR1 is scheduled to open for traffic in September, as construction is now more than 90% complete.

Mr Touch Samnang, Deputy General Director of OCIC, the company that is developing Koh Nora, said on 10 August that the construction work is proceeding as planned, and expected in September to be put into use.

“The bridge is now more than 90% completed and probably in September, we can put it into use, so commuters can travel from NR1 and cross the bridge before passing through Koh Norea and take the ferry to Koh Pich,” he said.

The US$2.5 billion investment project on Koh Norea, which covers an area of 125 hectares, also includes the construction of two bridges. The first bridge connecting Koh Norea to NR 1, with a construction cost of US$1.6 million, and the second bridge connecting Koh Pich and Koh Norea, with a construction cost of US$38 million.
