Chroy Changva Bridge, 709-meter bridge across Tonle Sap River in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The Chroy Changva Bridge spans the Tonle Sap River with concrete and steel construction, connecting the eastern and western districts of Phnom Penh.

Built in 1963 with Japanese support, the bridge experienced severe damage during the civil war in 1972 when explosives destroyed several spans.

The structure bears the name Cambodia-Japan Friendship Bridge, marking decades of cooperation between the two nations through infrastructure development.

The bridge serves as a primary route for vehicles and pedestrians crossing the Tonle Sap River, located 10 kilometers south of Prek Kdam Bridge.

Following extensive reconstruction efforts, the bridge reopened in February 1994, restoring essential connectivity to previously isolated sections of Phnom Penh.
