PP-SHV Expressway on track for completion in early 2023

The construction of the $1.9 billion Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway, which broke ground at the end of March, is on track to be completed by early 2023, Ministry of Public Works and Transport spokesman Vasim Sorya said on Monday.

The 190km high-speed highway linking the capital to the coastal Preah Sihanouk province is being invested in by the China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) through Cambodian PPSHV Expressway Co Ltd.

Malaysian engineering consultancy Minconsult Sdn Bhd is providing technical construction consultancy and advisory services on the project.

It is being constructed under the build-operate-transfer model, which is a form of project financing where the public sector grants concessions to a private entity to build and operate projects.

Sorya told The Post that progress on the project has been steady since it broke ground, with it currently five per cent complete.

Kampong Speu provincial governor Vei Samnang said construction on the project was constant, with work carried out day and night.

190 KPH?
Is that the speed limit? If so, who will police it? And who will teach people to drive at those speeds? There is a world of difference between the current maximum speed of about 100kph (oncoming trucks permitting) and 190kph.

The new road could be even more dangerous than the old road.

Not sure whether you're being serious or making a joke, but 190km is obviously the length of the new highway being constructed
