China Railway International Group Co., Ltd presented three designs for construction of the Phnom Penh-Bavet expressway project on 07 September.

Based on the geographical location and impact, the road will be designed for a maximum speed of 120km/hr in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Cambodia and Vietnam, says the firm’s study report.

Secretary of State of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport HE So Victor said that the ministry and government need to thoroughly study the three options before making a decision.

“The choice of which option must focus on the framework of social, economic and construction impacts,” he said.

“We also must wait for the results of the financial report from the company in mid-October 2020, which will be used as a basis for decision-making as well,” he added.

The project is expected to cost approximately over US$2 billion and would have a total length of 135km crossing through Kandal, Prey Veng, and Svay Rieng provinces before reaching the Bavet border gate, sharing a border with Vietnam. (Read more)
