BINTULU, Sept 16: The Medan Jaya–Tun Hussein Onn flyover project here has recorded 54.68 per cent physical progress as of Sept 14, with full completion targeted for June 2026.
The Sarawak Public Works Department (JKR), in a Facebook post, said its director, Dr Cassidy Morris, conducted his second official working visit to the project site yesterday (Sept 15) to review its progress.
The RM137.7 million project, spanning 318 metres, is expected to ease traffic congestion in Bintulu’s commercial centre once completed. It also involves upgrading works along Jalan Sultan Iskandar, Jalan Johari Sunam, and access to SMK Bintulu.
Speaking at a press conference, Cassidy emphasised that new monitoring measures will be implemented, including the installation of CCTV at the site and monthly drone monitoring, to ensure timely delivery of the project.
“JKR Sarawak will continue to find the best solutions to ensure there are no sick projects under the department’s supervision,” he stressed.
Funded under the federal government allocation, the flyover is anticipated to provide smoother traffic flow and better connectivity in the town centre. — DayakDaily
