Discover more about Tsubasa Bridge

The Tsubasa Bridge, also known as the Neak Loeung Bridge, gracefully stretches across the Mekong River, approximately 60 kilometers southeast of Phnom Penh in Kandal Province. This impressive structure, officially opened on April 6, 2015, stands as a symbol of progress and connectivity for Cambodia.Before the bridge's construction, crossing the Mekong at this point relied on ferries, which were slow and often congested, with wait times stretching to several hours. The Tsubasa Bridge eliminated this bottleneck, providing a seamless and efficient transportation route that significantly reduces travel times and costs. It plays a crucial role in the local economy, facilitating trade and travel between Phnom Penh, Prey Veng Province, and onward to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.The bridge itself is a marvel of engineering, featuring a cable-stayed design with a total length of 2,215 meters. Its main span measures 640 meters, supported by two 121-meter-high pylons. The bridge's name, "Tsubasa," meaning "wings" in Japanese, reflects its design, which resembles two birds taking flight, and symbolizes the strong relationship between Cambodia and Japan, the primary funding source for the project. The Tsubasa Bridge isn't just a functional piece of infrastructure; it's also a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. Many visitors come to capture the breathtaking views of the Mekong River, especially during sunrise and sunset. The surrounding area offers a glimpse into the daily lives of Cambodians, with local vendors and small shops adding to the vibrant atmosphere.
