Cambodia to proceed with construction of Phnom Penh-Bavet Expressway at a cost of $1.6 billion
The Royal Government of Cambodia is committed to build another expressway linking Phnom Penh capital to Bavet city of Svay Rieng province, at the border with Vietnam.
The commitment was underlined by Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen in a Facebook post this morning while traveling to Sihanoukville of Preah Sihanouk province on the $2 billion Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville expressway, the first ever expressway in Cambodia, to preside over the official opening ceremony of the 9th Sea Festival today.
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport and China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) last month entered into a framework agreement on the construction of the Phnom Penh-Bavet expressway whose construction is set to break ground next year and would take four years to complete.
The 138-kilometer-long Phnom Penh-Bavet expressway project would cost some $1.6 billion.
Cambodia is also considering the construction of the third expressway from Phnom Penh to the cultural province of Siem Reap.
