Koh Norea Development Project 48% Complete, First Phase Set for Completion in 2023

Construction of the main infrastructure for the US$2.5-billion Koh Norea development project remains on track despite the pandemic, as of September 2021, reaching an average of 48% competition.

Project General manager Men Poly told the Construction & Property Magazine on Wednesday 15 September that there are five main parts of the construction, each of which has different progress.

“The constructions of the big and small riverbank are 78% and 50% complete respectively, while the landfilling work is 85% done. Meanwhile, the constructions of the Koh Norea-NR1 bridge and Koh Norea-Koh Pich bridge are 2.5% and 27% complete, respectively,” said Mr Poly.

“All work is proceeding smoothly and on time as planned. The riverbank work is expected to be completed by 2022, while the first phase of overall infrastructure is scheduled for completion in June 2023,” he added.

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, and medical centres, among others.

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