Bassac River
The Bassac River ( km, ទន្លេបាសាក់; Tonlé Bassac) is a distributary of the Tonlé Sap and Mekong River. The river starts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and flows southerly, crossing the border into Vietnam near Châu Đốc. The name Bassac comes from the Khmer prefix “pa” (father or male) added to sak (សក្តិ) (power or honor), a Khmer word borrowed from the Sanskrit “sakti” (शक्ति). In Vietnam it is known as the Hậu River (''Sông Hậu'' or ''Hậu Giang'' in Vietnamese). The Bassac River is an important transportation corridor between Cambodia and Vietnam, with barges and other craft plying the waters. A city of the same name was once the west-bank capital of the Kingdom of Champasak. Sak (សក្តិ) can also be seen in the Khmer spelling of Champasak; (ចំប៉ាសក្តិ). USS ''Satyr'' (ARL-23), a recommissioned repair ship originally built for the United States Navy during World War II, served on the Bassac ...

Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh (; km, ភ្នំពេញ, ) is the capital and most populous city of Cambodia. It has been the national capital since the French protectorate of Cambodia and has grown to become the nation's primate city and its economic, industrial, and cultural centre. Phnom Penh succeeded Angkor Thom as the capital of the Khmer nation but was abandoned several times before being reestablished in 1865 by King Norodom. The city formerly functioned as a processing center, with textiles, pharmaceuticals, machine manufacturing, and rice milling. Its chief assets, however, were cultural. Institutions of higher learning included the Royal University of Phnom Penh (established in 1960 as Royal Khmer University), with schools of engineering, fine arts, technology, and agricultural sciences, the latter at Chamkar Daung, a suburb. Also located in Phnom Penh were the Royal University of Agronomic Sciences and the Agricultural School of Prek Leap. The city was nicknamed the "Pearl of As ...

National Highway 1 (Cambodia)
National Highway 1 or National Road No.1 (10001) is one of the national highways of Cambodia. With a length of , it connects the capital of Phnom Penh, through Prey Veng Province, with Bavet, Svay Rieng Province on the border with Vietnam, and continues in Vietnam as the QL22 Highway to Ho Chi Minh City in the south east. In Phnom Penh the road converges with National Highway 2 near Monivong Bridge and National Highway 5 at Stat Chas Circle Garden, near the French Embassy. History Originally constructed during French colonial times, National Highway 1 is an important link from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon. The road was partly destroyed by carpet bombing by the US in the early 1970s. In 1981, Cambodia opened a newly repaired section of National Highway 1 to the Vietnamese border. In April 2015, Tsubasa Bridge (also known as the Neak Loeung Bridge), a 2.2 km cable-stayed bridge with a single carriageway road, was opened replacing the ferry crossing service ...

Road Bridges In Phnom Penh
A road is a linear way for the conveyance of traffic that mostly has an improved surface for use by vehicles (motorized and non-motorized) and pedestrians. Unlike streets, the main function of roads is transportation. There are many types of roads, including parkways, avenues, controlled-access highways (freeways, motorways, and expressways), tollways, interstates, highways, thoroughfares, and local roads. The primary features of roads include lanes, sidewalks (pavement), roadways (carriageways), medians, shoulders, verges, bike paths (cycle paths), and shared-use paths. Definitions Historically many roads were simply recognizable routes without any formal construction or some maintenance. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines a road as "a line of communication (travelled way) using a stabilized base other than rails or air strips open to public traffic, primarily for the use of road motor vehicles running on their own wheels", which i ...
