The Expressway network of Cambodia currently consists of one expressway under construction and one under planning. The government has noted three goals for developing an expressway network:[1]

  • Regional Integration with neighbouring countries
  • Linking the wealthier Phnom Penh with other cities to let other provinces benefit from the development
  • Improving the transportation in Cambodia, reducing congestion and allow more suitable roads for heavy trucks

Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway[]

The first expressway, the , is funded by the China Road and Bridge Corporation at a cost of US$2 billion under a build-operate-transfer contract.[2]

The road has two lanes in each direction and will have a speed limit of 100 km/h (62 mph).[3] This will allow the travel time between the two terminal cities to be halved from 6 hours.[4]

As of June 2021, construction was 51% completed.[3]
