The project is undertaken by company KUMHO-TECHCROSS and technically supervised by company DOHWA-SEOYOUNG, with a total contract cost of over US$90 million under a concessional loan from the Government of the Republic of Korea, together with the Royal Government of Cambodia’s fund. The project will take 36 months to complete, with construction scheduled for completion in 2027.
