Ring Road 3, a vital infrastructure project in Cambodia, is set to bolster connectivity and drive economic growth in the country. The road construction has reached its completion milestone, and a temporary opening is currently in effect. The official inauguration is scheduled for August 3, 2023, with the esteemed presence of Samdech Techo Hun Sen, as announced by HE Heang Sotheayut, spokesman for the Ministry of Public Works and Transport.

Spanning a total length of 52.983 kilometers, Ring Road 3 traverses the provinces of Kandal and Phnom Penh. With approximately 38 kilometers running through Kandal and about 15 kilometers passing through the geography of Phnom Penh, this infrastructure project holds immense significance for enhancing transportation efficiency and facilitating economic development.

The realization of Ring Road 3 became possible through a loan of $273 million from the People’s Republic of China, with construction commencing in January 2019. This investment in transport infrastructure will not only enhance the connectivity of the region but also unlock the development potential of the areas it traverses. (Read more)
