OCIC Chairman Neak Oknha Pung Kheav Se has revealed details of the expressway linking Phnom Penh city centre to the new Phnom Penh international airport in Kandal province.

Neak Oknha Pung Kheav Se said in an exclusive interview with Construction & Property Magazine on 19 December that the expressway will be built as a flyover with a total length of 21 kilometres, divided into two phases.

“The first phase is about 10 kilometres long passing through Hun Sen Blvd and Street 271, and all the way from the Kbal Thnal junction to NR2. Meanwhile, the second phase is about 11 kilometres linking from NR2 to the new Phnom Penh Airport,” said Neak Oknha Pung.

“The whole project will cost approximately US$400 million. The first phase might start next year and will be complete shortly after the new airport’s completion, which is sometime after 2023,” he added.

With this new express route, commuters can drive up to 100km/h, making travel between Phnom Penh and the new airport far easier.

Recently, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport also announced plans to construct a railway linking Phnom Penh city centre to the new Phnom Penh airport to help ease travel after the airport’s completion in 2023. (Read more)
