Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway - Now Open

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. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

"The expressway will be completed in 48 months."

From the road construction projects I've seen, 96 months is more likely.

It looks very awesome and much safer. Also looks like some highway rest stops are designed to be built too.

Yes, of-course there will be rest stops. That's where you make the money either by renting it out to someone or by selling your own overpriced crap food with no competition.

Looks like fast forward, but then again when you see the constructions going up in Sihanoukville in real time , it also looks like FF on video. :?

Between Kratie and Strung Trung for most of the way the Chinese built or paid for the road don't know how long ago but it's one lane each way plus wide curbside for motos to travel it's one of the better roads I've rode along so something good comes from Chinese in this case
Is the old M4 going to stay or get incorporated into the new highway

M4 = NR4? Yes it's going to stay. Expressway is built separately to it.
