According to Mr. Sam Piseth, Director of the Department of Public Works and Transport of Phnom Penh, the bridge will be completed by the end of November 2023. The Koh Norea Bridge will play a significant role in improving traffic flow and connectivity between the two development areas. The bridge will enable people to cross from Koh Norea to Koh Pich, making it an important infrastructure project for the region.

The completion of the Koh Norea Bridge is expected to enhance the local economy by facilitating the transport of goods and people, as well as reducing travel times and congestion on Chbar Ampov roads. The bridge’s strategic location is poised to provide new opportunities for residential, commercial, and industrial development in the region.
