Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

New Bridge for the Mekong Between Kratie and Kampong Thom Provinces

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »


Kratie-Kampong Thom Mekong River Bridge to be Built Next year

July 25, 2019
A bridge crossing Mekong River linking Kratie to Kampong Thom province will be built in 2020, thanks to the concession loan from China.

H.E. Sun Chanthol, Senior Minister and Minister of Public Works and Transports shared the update during a recent site visit to Kratie province.

The government is now studying the details of the project cost, he said adding that his ministry is working to determine the specific location to build the bridge.

The bridge will stretch for 1,761 metres, and its construction will take up to three years, H.E. Sun Chanthol continued.

The bridge will ease the travel of people in Kratie and Stung Treng provinces to Kampong Thom province and vice versa.
