Ta Khmao Bridge

Ta Khmao Bridge

The Ta Khmao Bridge is an 855-meter structure spanning the Bassac River in Phnom Penh. Opened in 2015 with Chinese support, it serves as a primary transport link connecting the city center to its outskirts. Travelers visit the bridge to observe the river traffic and view the urban landscape of the capital from an elevated vantage point.

Getting There

The bridge is accessible from the city center via tuk-tuk or taxi. Depending on the specific starting point and current traffic conditions, the journey typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes.

Duration of Visit

Since the bridge is a transit landmark rather than a complex site, most visitors spend 30 to 60 minutes here to observe the surroundings and take photographs.

When to Visit

Visiting during the early morning or late afternoon is recommended to avoid the midday heat and to see the city lighting. Be aware that this is a major traffic artery; it becomes very crowded during morning and evening rush hours, which can make pedestrian movement difficult.

Nearby Attractions

The bridge can be combined with other sites in the region, including:

  • Monivong Bridge (7.6km)
  • Bassac River (8.8km)
  • Phsar Tuol Tompong (9.4km)
  • Boeng Keng Kang Muoy Sangkat (9.9km)
