China-backed expressway in Cambodia opens for free trial

THE Chinese-invested Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway in Cambodia is now open to the public for a month’s trial use for free to attract motorists driving on the first-ever expressway in the South-East Asian nation.

Invested by the China Road and Bridge Corporation, the US$2bil (RM9.2bil) expressway with a total length of 187km connects the capital Phnom Penh and the deep sea port province of Preah Sihanouk.
