--Monivong Boulevard, Phnom Penh--


Monivong Boulevard is the central boulevard and thoroughfare of Phnom Penh the capital of Cambodia crossing the city in a north-south direction.
It crosses with
Sihanouk Boulevard in the centre of the city.

On average the boulevard passes through the city approximately 800 metres west of Norodom Boulevard which also passes in a north-south direction although the two major boulevards eventually join near Monivong Bridge at the Bassac River in the south.

The majority of the embassies in Phnom Penh are located on the boulevard including the Vietnamese Embassy in the south, the German Embassy near the centre of the city and the British and French Embassies in the north of the city in the French Quarter. The road then joins Street 47 (France Street) and Street 70 which passes east towards Chruoy Changyar Bridge also known as Japanese Bridge.
