The China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) has completed the feasibility study for the proposed Phnom Penh–Siem Reap–Poipet Expressway, which will enhance connectivity and boost economic growth in Cambodia. The study covers traffic volume, hydrology, geotechnical conditions, topography, and cultural and natural reserves.
The expressway will begin at Win-Win Boulevard in Phnom Penh and extend to Poipet City in Banteay Meanchey Province. The project will be executed in two phases: the first from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, covering 249 km and costing USD2.5 billion, and the second from Siem Reap to Poipet, spanning 151 km with an estimated cost of USD1.7 billion.
CRBC is now preparing a comprehensive report to submit to the government of Cambodia for review. This marks a significant milestone in the expressway’s development, reflecting the government’s commitment to improving transportation and logistics and enhancing access to major tourist sites and the Cambodia-Thailand border.
Additionally, CRBC is also responsible for Cambodia’s other major expressway projects, including the operational Phnom Penh–Sihanoukville Expressway, which involved a USD2 billion investment, and the Phnom Penh–Bavet Expressway currently under construction, with an investment of about USD1.7 billion.
