A Shanghai-based Chinese company, in co-operation with the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation, has began a feasibility study to build a 40-kilometre highway running along the east of Phnom Penh.

Mr. Lim Sidenin, Secretary of State of Ministry of Public Works and Transportation, said the new highway will join Highway No. 1 east of Phnom Penh about 20 kilometre from Monivong Bridge and will run through Prek Talorng village in Chak Angrei district through a 700-800 metres long bridge that will be built across the Bassac River to connect the highway.

The Chinese government-funded highway is expected to cost $US42 million. If approved, the highway is expected to commence constructions in 2010 and in expected to be completed in 2011.
