The Apsara Authority, the government body that manages the Angkor temple complex, said construction on the floating bridge started on Nov 28 and it will be ready for use before May. “We assume that one person weighs 80 kilogrammes, so this floating bridge can support a total of 6,371 people at the same time,” Mr Kim Leng said. The Apsara Authority is cooperating with Sophia University in Japan in construction of the bridge.
