The Chroy Changva Bridge (also known as the Cambodian-Japanese Kizuna Friendship Bridge) is a 709-meter bridge that crosses the Tonlé Sap RiverinPhnom Penh, originally built in 1963, with Japanese aid. Severely damaged during the civil war in 1972 and 1973, it remained closed until it reopened on 26 February 1994 [1] About 10 km north of it there is another bridge the Prek Kdam Bridge, then the Prek Pnov Bridge and no more bridges on the Tonle Sap, a temporary bridge should open in April 2018, the construction of a concrete bridge should start just after that.[2]
