China News Agency, Phnom Penh, July 26th (Reporter Ouyang Kaiyu) "It's really amazing, beyond my understanding, I didn't expect the road to be built so smoothly, and it can go from Phnom Penh to Westport in two and a half hours. It's really big. It has improved Cambodia's current traffic conditions and facilitated people's travel." "Yes, I believe that after the opening of the expressway, it will definitely help Cambodia's economic development."

  This dialogue is a scene in a vlog that is popular in Cambodia, and the location is the Golden Port Expressway.

Shen Yue, a young diplomat from the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia, and young Chinese and Cambodian friends experienced the first expressway in Cambodia, and introduced relevant precautions to everyone.

  The Jingang Expressway is a key project of high-quality cooperation between China and Cambodia under the framework of the “Belt and Road” initiative.

The project is operated by China Road and Bridge using the BOT (build-operate-transfer) method.

After the project is completed, it will become the first expressway in Cambodia.

The expressway starts from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and ends at Sihanoukville, the largest deep-water port in Cambodia, with a total length of 187.05 kilometers. At present, the main project has been completed and will be put into trial operation soon.

  According to Shen Yue, since the Jingang Expressway is the first expressway in the country, they mainly presented the basic rules of expressway driving and how to charge the expressway in the vlog.

  In the vlog, the local "Internet celebrity" Omori said, "We are now at the entrance of the Phnom Penh toll station. If we want to get on the expressway, we must first pass through the toll station before entering the expressway. First, we need to pass the overrun monitoring station to weigh the vehicle. If you are overweight, you cannot go in. The toll standards for buses and cars are also different. The toll station is the place where the passing vehicles pay the toll." "You can choose the toll channel according to different payment methods. Er), ETC non-stop payment, mobile payment (bank card, WeChat, Alipay, etc.)

  Another internet celebrity, Peeyoo, said: "High-speeds are closed and managed, and two-way separated driving is safer without interfering with each other. Pedestrians and other animals are not allowed to run on the road, which may cause safety accidents. Go the wrong way, cross the median and make a U-turn. If the vehicle breaks down, please park in the emergency lane, and if the breakdown cannot be repaired, call the company's hotline: 1399, and they will come to help."

  After this vlog was uploaded to social media, it caused a positive response among local Chinese and Cambodian netizens.

Local media commented that after the completion of the Golden Port Expressway, it will open up the capital economic circle and Sihanoukville Port, the largest deep-water port in Cambodia, shortening the original 5-hour drive from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville to less than 2 hours, greatly reducing logistics costs and driving The economic and social development along the route is the road to the realization of the Cambodian people's dream and development, and it is also the road of friendship and cooperation between China and Cambodia.
