Minister of Public Works and Transport HE Sun Chanthol said in June that the ministry is also currently negotiating for the firm for the free ride during the early few months, and to charge as low a fee as possible afterwards.

The Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway has a total length of 190 kilometres connecting Sangkat Samrong Krom, Khan Por Senchey in Phnom Penh to Sangkat 3 in Sihanoukville.

The project is expected to cost a total of US$2 billion and is being built by China Bridge and Road Corporation (CRBC) through the Cambodian PPSHV Expressway Co., Ltd.
