Phnom Penh is a city on the move — a city where the echoes of tradition meet the ambitions of modern development. In this vibrant landscape, infrastructure is more than just concrete and steel; it is the foundation of progress. Among the most anticipated projects in Cambodia’s recent history is the Cambodia-Korea Friendship Bridge, a transformative structure that promises to reshape the capital’s future both physically and economically.

Scheduled to break ground in June 2025, the bridge is a testament to the growing partnership between Cambodia and South Korea. Funded by a $235 million loan from South Korea’s Export-Import Bank, the bridge will stretch approximately 2,375 meters across the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers. It will link Phnom Penh’s bustling Night Market area to Chroy Changvar and continue across the river to Arey Ksat in Kandal province. With a modern cable-stayed design and a culturally inspired aesthetic — its towers echoing Cambodia’s traditional sampeah greeting — the bridge will be a new landmark for the city.
