City Hall is considering plans for construction of a bridge across the Tonle Sap to connect Phnom Penh to the new Chroy Chongvar satellite city being built by the Overseas Cambodia Investment Corporation (OCIC),

Though current plans indicate that the bridge may connect the Kilometre 6 area outside Phnom Penh to the OCIC project, no final decisions have been made or timelines and budgets announced.

It is expected that OCIC will fund construction of the new bridge, though it is not known when construction will start.

City Hall spokesperson Mean Chanyada told the Phnom Penh Post that “This bridge will be as long as the Chroy Chongvar bridge [which is approximately 700 metres].”
