Following months of uncertainty, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is to start work on a feasibility study in August for a skytrain in Phnom Penh.

The study will provide a breakdown of costs and also propose routes for the project which is slated to cost USD800 million. Once complete, JICA will present the study to the Cambodian government.

A number of discussions have taken place over the last two years following a preliminary study in 2014. Likely routes would connect Phnom Penh airport with a south-north corridor on Monivong Boulevard, an the east-west corridor passing Russian Blvd and a southwest corridor via Monireth Blvd.

As well as overcoming traffic congestion, the AGT is also seen a landmark project for the upcoming SEA Games in 2023.
