The update was provided by Minister of Public Works and Transport HE Sun Chanthol in the yearly work progress review conference last week.

With ground broken in January 2019, Ring Road 3 has a total length of 52.9km, passing through Kandal province for 38km and Phnom Penh for about 15km. The project is expected to cost approximately US$273 million, which is a loan from China.
