This project involved the construction of a 16.5-meter-wide and 942-meter-long overpass (the Cambodia-China Sen Sok Overpass Bridge) at the intersection of Russian Federation Boulevard and Hanoi Street in Sen Sok district within the city of Phnom Penh. The ultimate purpose of the project was to ease the transport of goods and travel of people in Phnom Penh, especially those who travel to and from Phnom Penh International Airport.

Staff comments

1. This project is also known as the Psar Dei Hoy Flyover Project or the Phsar Dey Hoy Flyover Project. The Chinese project title is 金边塞索柬中友谊立交桥. 2. Given that this project was financed with a 'concessional loan', China Eximbank is the most likely lender (funding agency). However, this issue requires further investigation.
