Prime Minister Hun Sen said the construction of Neak Loeung Bridge, which will be financed under a $131 million grant from Japan, will commence in late 2010 and is scheduled to be completed in February 2015, reports Koh Santepheap.

Neak Loeung Bridge in Kandal province, touted to be the longest, biggest and most expensive bridge in Cambodia to date, will connect the future Asean Highway and connect Cambodian people living in the western and the eastern sides of the Mekong river, where the current means of crossing of the river have been boats and ferries.

Japan, Cambodia's biggest donor, have financed many bridge constructions in Cambodia, including Cambodia-Japan Friendship Bridge, known as Chroy Changvar Bridge in Phnom Penh and Kishuna Bridge in Kampong Cham. On top of this, many Cambodian students had been provided with scholarship to further their studies in Japan, with 199 Cambodian students had been given scholarships and completed their studies since 2000 and 24 more scholars will depart for Japan soon for a four-year course at Japanese universities.
