The two-storey Morodok Techo Flyover at the Kbal Thnal area in Phnom Penh was officially inaugurated this morning under the presidency of Prime Minister Hun Manet.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Hun Manet welcomed the capital’s new achievement and expressed pride in the Cambodian people’s growing capacity to construct large-scale infrastructure projects.
According to Phnom Penh Municipal Governor Khuong Sreng, the flyover is located at the intersection of Samdech Techo Hun Sen Boulevard (Street 60 metres), Preah Monivong Boulevard, and Royal Cambodian Armed Forces Boulevard (Street 271), in Khan Meanchey and Chamkar Mon.
Construction of the overpass began on August 31, 2022, and was completed in just 30 months—six months ahead of schedule—at a total cost of nearly $36.8 million, the governor pointed out.
The flyover is expected to significantly ease traffic flow in the southern part of the capital, he said, underlining that it formsa part of Phnom Penh’s broader urban development strategy to strengthen connectivity between the city’s economic corridor and the provinces along National Roads 1 and 2.
He also continued that it will enhance links to major infrastructure projects such as the new international airport and the Funan Techo Canal, making the capital more competitive and appealing to local and foreign investors.
