The Ministry of Public Works and Transport has been studying the alignment of the East Ring Road 3 (RR3), connecting Phnom Penh to Lvea Em district in Kandal province and possibly passing through Koh Dach and NR6.

The east RR3 is an additional plan to the current under-construction RR3 to create a full ring road.

Ministry spokesman HE Vasim Sorya said on Tuesday 16 November that the ministry is now drawing a draft map of the road alignment, but has yet to finalise the locations where the route will pass through.

“Normally, the Ring Road project has its own alignment. It would cross Koh or Koh Anlong Chen. The road will pass through these islands and then connect to NR6, possibly,” said HE Vasim Sorya.

He added the ministry is making several choices before picking the final one.

Minister of Public Works and Transport HE Sun Chanthol said in August the east RR3 is the government’s next priority before the RR4. (Read more)
