Breaking Ground: Construction has officially begun on a 1.6-kilometer concrete bridge spanning Cambodia's Mekong River near Phnom Penh! Built by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), the project includes a connecting road and aims to revolutionize travel between Kean Svay and Lvea Aem districts.
Why It Matters: Cambodian officials say the bridge will slash commute times, boost local economies, and strengthen regional connectivity. “This is a milestone for our infrastructure development,” said So Victor of Cambodia’s Ministry of Public Works. CRBC’s Wu Jinhai added it reflects the ’diamond hexagon’ partnership between Cambodia and China under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
Green Development Goals: The project promises eco-friendly construction methods, aligning with global sustainability trends.
Local Excitement: Residents like Sok Khna (53) are thrilled to ditch ferry rides that cost up to $2.50 per car. “This bridge will save time and money—it’s life-changing!” said Khat Vichara, 21. Once completed in 2027, toll-free access could uplift communities and reduce poverty.
Bigger Picture: This project joins a growing list of China-Cambodia collaborations, blending development ambitions with grassroots impact. Stay tuned for updates!
