You can drive via KOW first underground road from tomorrow

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.

Good! But I don't rush to drive on this road. I'll wait until everything is completed. :p

Links to this subway in Steung Meanchey, please.

Only 12 months ago, it was just being planned.

The 4th flyover bridge and subway began construction on 9th of September 2014. The Overseas Cambodia Investment Corporation (OCIC) will be building it under the technical supervision of the Ministry of Public Work and Transport. The bridge will be 382 meters long and 15.8 meters across. The subway will be 356 meters long, and 6 to 8 meters across. The project is expected to be complete in 16 months, on the 9th of January 2016 and will cost USD 14.5 million.

Sssh, I'll get people trying to intimidate me with multiple deleted PMs again.

I'm not saying anything about people with cars, everyone please note.

What, like the link of my own eyes that has to drive under/over it 4 or 5 times a week, or a link that was written when it opened last year?

That's clearly an overpass. :stir:

This is the first tunnel near bongthomland , I think that's what they mean.

Gotta lay off the ganja, KS! :mrgreen:

Says the Nit Picking King....

Draw your attention to the black hole in centre of picture, where the road goes..... underground.

The photos posted for Toul Kork look EXACTLY the same as that, with the same design, size and dimensions, even the colour scheme. Plus (I may be wrong, I'll check it out later) but last night there was no sign of the TK bridge being anywhere near ready.

I'm surprised at the speed with which they built that. I passed by it pretty often, probably once a week. Every time something new was up. The Chinese (I assume) foreman had this planned out very meticulously (assuming it's structurally sound). Still, I think we can expect a pileup/crash if some sort within a few weeks... No doubt about it.
