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.
The bridge was completed in 2010 and represents a major milestone in regional infrastructure development. It was an important investment in connecting the northern areas with the capital and surrounding regions.
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 construction required an investment of 43.5 million dollars through a Chinese preferential credit agreement with a 2% interest rate over 20 years.
