Construction of the Bassac River bridge linking Chak Angre Krom and Prek Pra has reached 73 percent completion as of the end of May 2026, marking significant progress on one of Cambodia’s key urban transport infrastructure projects. According to the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, the bridge project has advanced steadily since construction officially commenced on February 19, 2024. The ministry reported on Monday that all foundation and substructure works have been completed, along with the superstructure of the connecting bridge. Work on the main bridge superstructure is now 67.3 percent complete. Of the 49 box girders planned on the right side, 36 have been finished, while 30 of the 49 girders on the left side have been completed. The associated road network has reached 48.4 percent completion, including connecting and ramp girders. The ministry said transportation of all 96 bridge beams from the western to the eastern side of the river has been completed, with workers currently carrying out concrete pouring to connect bridge sections. An evaluation team praised contractor Shanghai Construction Company for executing the project in accordance with technical standards and contractual requirements while maintaining quality and aesthetic considerations. Project managers have also intensified safety measures as the rainy season begins, including the installation of additional protective water cushions to ensure the safety of river traffic. Once completed, the Chak Angre Krom–Prek Pra crossing will become the seventh bridge spanning the Bassac River, joining existing links such as Koh Pich Bridge, Koh Norea Bridge, the two Preah Monivong bridges, Samrong Bridge, Koh Anlong Chen Bridge and Koh Thom Bridge. The project is expected to ease congestion and strengthen connectivity in the capital’s rapidly expanding southern districts.
