National Highway 1 or National Road No.1 (10001) is one of the national highways of Cambodia. With a length of 167.10 km (103.83 mi), it connects the capital of Phnom Penh, through Prey Veng Province, with Bavet, Svay Rieng Province and the border with Vietnam.[1]
In 1981, Cambodia opened a newly repaired section of National Highway 1 to the Vietnamese border, the road having suffered damage during the Cambodian Civil War years.
In April 2015, Tsubasa Bridge (also known as the Neak Loeung Bridge), a 2.2 km cable-stayed bridge with a single carriageway road, was opened replacing the ferry crossing service which was required to cross the Mekong River on National Road 1. It remains the longest bridge across the Mekong River in Cambodia. The bridge was built with assistance from the Japanese government totaling approximately $127 million US dollars. [2]
In Phnom Penh the road converges with National Highway 2 near Monivong Bridge.
