The Overseas Cambodia Investment

a

Corporation (OCIC) will spend $35 million to build a concrete bridge across the Tonle Sap River from the Sokimex  gasoline station in Russey Keo district to the Prek Tasek commune in Chroy Changvar district.

Work on the bridge will start soon and it is aimed at cutting back on traffic congestion.

While the old Japan-Cambodia friendship bridge will be restored, the new concrete bridge is expected to reduce traffic congestion to the busy Chroy Changvar district, a senior official at the OCIC said.

Touch Samnang, the deputy director, said the OCIC planned to spend about $35 million from the Chroy Changvar satellite city project for the construction of the bridge across the Tonle Sap.
