Phnom Penh Municipality is adjusting the traffic flow at the Sokimex Kbal Thnal junction (the junction of Monivong Blvd, St. 271, and Hun Sen Blvd), and Wat Neak Voan Junction (the junction of St. 221 and Russian Blvd), by constructing new roads, expanding existing roads, and reconfiguring traffic lights.

For the Sokimex Kbal Thnal junction, two new roads will be built with the first connecting Monivong Blvd to Hun Sen Blvd, and the second linking Monivong Blvd. to Street 271.

Monivong Blvd. and Street 271 will also be widened by three metres on each side from two lanes to three lanes, plus a redesign of the traffic light system. Upon completion, commuters can travel smoothly from the old Monivong Bridge straight to Monivong Blvd without having to stop at the traffic lights.

Meanwhile, for the Wat Neak Voan junction, the municipality is planning to reopen St. 221 which is currently a one-way street down from Russia Bvld. With the reopening, commuters can go straight from St. 221 up to Russian Bvld to Wat Neak Voan but will not be allowed to turn left.
