Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen will join a ceremony to refurbish the Preak Kdam concrete bridge linking the East and West parts of Tonle Sap River on September 14, a Government press release obtained on Saturday said.
PM Hun Sen will ceremonially finish the Prek Kdam Bridge using cement to link the two parts as one, the release said. The bridge will soon be open to traffic as it is now 90 percent complete.
“This bridge has been constructed before the project schedule which needs 21 months to finish the bridge construction,” the statement said.
The bridge has a 981 meter span and is 13 meters wide. It was constructed with financial support from the Chinese Government and with funds from the Cambodian Govern-ment.
The bridge is located about 40 km north of Phnom Penh and it will be key in reducing traffic jams from National Road 6A and Phnom Penh, and drive poverty reduction for local people, the Government said.
