PM Hun Sen Officially Announces Location of Arey Ksat Bridge

Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen has once again assured the construction of the Arey Ksat Bridge, while officially announcing that two cable-slayed bridges will be built, one connecting Night Market to Chroy Changva and another from Chroy Chang to Arey Ksat.

Samdech Hun Sen made the announcement during the inauguration of NR21 on Wednesday 23 March.

He stated the reason why he chose the location of the night market – Chroy Changva – Arey Ksat among many options.

“We have two main options. The first option is to build only one bridge from Chroy Changva to Svay Chrum. With this option, we will increase more traffic jams at the current Chroy Changvar bridge as people have to go there first. Thus, we decided to build two bridges, one from the night market to Chroy Changvar, and the other from Chroy Changvar to the Arey Ksat,” said PM Hun Sen.

“By doing so, we will help ease the current traffic on the current Chroy Changvar Bridge and the city will be more beautiful,” he added.

PM Hun Sen added that as for why Cambodia is choosing to build cable-stayed bridges without pillars in the middle is for waterway traffic and aesthetic.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen hoped that the newly elected President of the Republic of Korea will not abandon the project given it was promised by his predecessor in 2020.
