Phnom Penh Bridge Closed After Boat Crash

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.

Cambodia News, Phnom Penh: According to reports, a Vietnamese team of experts was hired to remove the sunken sand barge from the bridge piers for about US$ 50,000, and at noon on 13 December, the experts took a 300-meter-long steel cable attached to the ferry and dragged it slowly toward shore.
This new operation was launched after several attempts to remove the barge from between the piers up were unsuccessful, up until the 10 December, when rescue efforts were temporarily suspended.
