Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway - Now Open
Re: Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway Underway
Contrary to the artist's impression, there won't be a tunnel as part of this expressway. There's no need. Most of the route is flat, and although there are a couple of hills near Sihanoukville, they are too small to be worth tunneling through. The only other part of the route where a tunnel could be put is at the Pich Nil pass, but that isn't happening either, as the expressway passes over the existing highway as a bridge, and then down the modest hill towards Sihanoukville.

Re: Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway Underway
Unfortunately many of those big cars come with rich owners who wouldn't blink at paying 20 bucks or more. The trucks now...
Re: Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway Underway
I’d pay $20 to use it on the odd occasions I drive down.

I believe its a Chinese company actually doing the whole thing, and they will decide on the tolls when its completed, so its a long term revenue opportunity for them

Re: Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway Underway
I thought about it and no I won’t have y because NH4 will be less busy.
Bit like the M6 toll on England. Unless the M6 proper is blocked there’s very little difference.
People of the world, spice up your life.
