Prek Tamak Bridge, Bridge over Mekong River near Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Prek Tamak Bridge is a road bridge spanning the Mekong River north of Phnom Penh that connects both riverbanks with a structure divided into three large sections. The crossing accommodates steady traffic flow and serves as a vital link for vehicles moving between the regions on either side.

Construction of the Prek Tamak Bridge was carried out by Shanghai Construction (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. over roughly 38 months at a cost of about US$43.5 million. The bridge opened to traffic in January 2011, linking the eastern and western banks of the Mekong about 40 kilometers north of Phnom Penh. Chinese Ambassador Pan Guangxue said the project was expected to support local socioeconomic development and living standards.

The bridge connects communities between National Roads 6 and 8, strengthening ties among populations separated by the Mekong River.

The bridge sits roughly 40 kilometers north of Phnom Penh and is easily accessible by car. Vehicles can cross at normal driving speeds while following the national highway route that connects the two road networks.

The bridge was built by Shanghai Construction (Cambodia) Co., Ltd., and Chinese Ambassador Pan Guangxue said the project was expected to raise local living standards. Its deck is 1,060 metres long and 13.5 metres wide, sized for traffic at up to 60 km/h.
