PP-Bavet Expressway Final Study to Be Completed in 3 Months

The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) has set a 3-month deadline for the Chinese firm to finish the final study of the Phnom Penh-Bavet Expressway before moving to the construction stage as planned.

The deadline was set during a meeting on 7 April between MPWT Secretary of State So Victor with representatives of China Railway International Group Co., Ltd, Royal Group, and the technical team.

HE So Vector said that during these three months, the company needs to review, edit or add more input to its result to make a more comprehensive report.

According to preliminary studies, the Phnom Penh-Bavet Expressway would have a total length of 135km crossing through Kandal, Prey Veng, and Svay Rieng provinces before reaching the Cambodia-Vietnam Bavet border gate.

In September 2020, China Railway International Group Co., Ltd presented three designs for the construction of this expressway. (Read more)
