Prime Minister Hun Manet presided over a groundbreaking event for the Chak Angre Krom-Prek Pra bridge in Phnom Penh this morning. 

The bridge is expected to make a significant contribution to reducing the rapidly growing capital’s traffic congestion issues, and future-proof the city’s infrastructure for predicted population growth.

The 845m four lane bridge cost over $60 million and is estimated to take 42 months to complete.

It will connect Meanchey district’s Chak Angre Krom commune with Chbar Ampov district’s Prek Pra commune.
