First Chinese-invested expressway in Cambodia sparks tourist influx to coastal province, says Hun Sen

PHNOM PENH, Oct. 17 (Xinhua): Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen said on Monday that some 200,000 vehicles had traveled on the kingdom's first-ever expressway since it was open to the public for trial use for free on Oct 1.

Invested by the China Road and Bridge Corporation, the US$2 billion Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway connects the capital Phnom Penh and the deep-sea port province of Preah Sihanouk.
