New highway to run through Boeung Tompong
A new highway that is being built is expected to not only reduce traffic jams, but to also open up a large area for real estate development.
The new highway, called Samdech Techo Hun Sen Blvd, runs from the intersection of Road 271 and Monivong Blvd to National Road 2 at Prek Kampis, and some initial work has already started.
An employee of ING Holding Co, Ltd, a subsidiary of AZ Group, who asked not to be named, said the new highway is to help reduce traffic jams along National Road 2. The new road will be one-way with a park in the middle and will run for 9.16 kilometres and be 60 metres wide. …
“It is to avoid traffic jams between Phnom Penh and Takhmao, because in the Chak Angre area along National Road 2 to Takhmao there are traffic jams every day, so when this road is completed there would be no traffic problems,” he said. …
