Minister of Public Works and Transport HE Sun Chanthol said on Wednesday 9 February that the ministry has asked PM Samdech Hun Sen to send a formal request to China for urgent funding for this project.

“We have already submitted the document and this is a priority in 2022,” he added, citing the bridge will help reduce traffic congestion in the area.

Chinese company Shanghai Construction Group Co., Ltd. (SCG) has completed a study for the bridge already while the government is currently reviewing each section in detail. (Read more)
