The Overseas Cambodia Investment Corporation (OCIC) will build a temporary bridge over the Tonle Sap river to ease congestion during the planned renovations to the Cambodia –Japan Friendship Bridge.

The company announced in July that it would be investing USD7 million into building the temporary iron bridge stretching from the Sokimex petrol station on National Road 5 across to the Chroy Changva satellite city.

Construction on the 800m bridge is expected to start in August and take seven months. The bridge will stay in place for two years until the USD30 million renovations on the main bridge are complete.

A permanent bridge is expected to be built later to the OCIC-developed Chroy Changva satellite city.
