PHNOM PENH, April 17 (Xinhua) -- The Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway, a project under the Belt and Road Initiative, is invested by the China Road and Bridge Corporation under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) model and is the first-ever freeway in Cambodia.
The 187-km expressway, connecting Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, with the international deep-water seaport province of Preah Sihanouk, was opened to traffic in 2022.
The transformation in transportation has not only injected stronger momentum into Cambodia's economic development, but also improved people's livelihoods. Tens of thousands of local jobs were created during its construction phase, and over 2,000 job opportunities have been provided during its operation.
