Construction of the US$2.5-billion Koh Norea satellite city being developed by OCIC has reached 30% completion, with the company confirming that construction is on schedule despite the COVID-19 crisis.

According to Touch Samnang, a senior official of the Koh Norea Satellite City Development Project, to date, landfilling work is 60% complete, bridge construction at 20%, and overall construction at 30%.

“The project is still processing normally but increasing the number of construction workers is a bit difficult as we have to find vaccinated workers with quarantine requirements. Of course, the project is affected, but we will try to move forward,” said Mr Samnang.

Being developed on over 125 hectares of land, this multi-billion-dollar project will comprise commercial areas, theatres, parks, residential areas, residential buildings, banks, universities, medical centres, among others.

The island development began in 2018, while the construction of the two bridges began in October last year. (Read more)
