The groundbreaking ceremony of the National Road 51 took place on Tuesday in the presence of Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng, Mr. Sun Chanthol, Minister of Public Work and Transport, and Mr. Xiong Bo, Ambassador of China to Cambodia.

According to Minister Sun Chanthol, the National Road 51 will be 37.95 kilometers long. It will connect the National Road 5 in Odongk District, to the National Road 4 in Ang Snoul District, Kandal Province.

Mr. Sun Chanthol added that this road will be also served as a new beltway and a shortcut for Cambodian people to avoid driving through the Capital Phnom Penh where traffic congestions happen everyday.

The construction of the road is funded by China and the Royal Government of Cambodia, and was planned to be completed in 2020.
