I- Overview General Information of Cambodia 1-Geopolitical Location : The kingdom of Cambodia lies in the tropical zone that is situated in Southeast Asia and located in the Southwestern part of the Indochina peninsula. The country’s land size is 181,035 square kilometers, which is relatively small compared to its neighbors.

V- Currently Railway Development Plan B- Skye Train in Phnom Penh Capital B- Skye Train in Phnom Penh Capital • Urban Transit System (UTS) connecting city center with PP airport is proposed as a high priority project. • Pre‐F/S for UTS was conducted with 3 alternative routes as below. (now detail design by Jica ) • As the result of our review (interview to concerned organizations and site survey) , Alt.3 is evaluated as the recommended route. Alt.2: Above Existing Railway Route Alternative Route Study ■Many squatters living inside ROW along the railway. Alignment around the airport, which away from existing railway route, require many resettlement. ■Difficult to have stations along railway. Even if stations are allocated, difficult to provide feeder service due to narrow and poor access road from trunk road. Existing Railway Rossian Blvd. Alt.1: Rossian Blvd. Route ■The route was evaluated as the Underground Section highest score in Pre-F/S. - EV not allowed due to aviation ■However, it is not allowed to regulation. install any elevated viaduct above - Rectangular area 11m @ app.300m to the road from the viewpoint of be required for transition section between public sentiment, security (the road EV and UG.) use all VIP including the King when go to airport.) Alt.3: Monireth Blvd.~Veng Sreng Blvd. Route (Recommended) ■No fatal negative issues ■The demand as corridor in 2014M/P is nearly similar with Alt.1 . ■Veng Sreng road, whose roadside is ongoing to develop for Choam Chao roundabout residential, commercial zone, etc., keep 2.5m space as medium for installing future elevated structure. ■Comparatively easy to assure the project land for all the Note: UG: Underground Section EV: Elevated Section AG: At-grade Section section among the three alternatives ■UG section to be longer than the other alternatives due to passing across airplane approach route. 19
