Tsubasa Bridge (Khmer: ស្ពានត្សឹបាសា), also known as Neak Loeung Bridge (ស្ពានអ្នកលឿង), links Kandal Province with the town of Neak Loeung, Prey Veng Province in Cambodia, on the heavily traveled highway between Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City. This 2.2 km bridge eliminated a ferry crossing and is the longest bridge across the Mekong River in the country, in front of the Koh Kong Bridge. It was funded and built by a Japanese government donation (Cambodia's third Japanese donated bridge) and now appears on the new 500 riel note. It opened to traffic in April 2015.

The inauguration ceremony for construction was set on February 12, 2011. The bridge has become Cambodia's longest bridge spanning over 2 kilometers.
