He said the open tender project for the 55.6m long with a height of 6.3m began on Nov 4, 2022, and was delayed due to utility problems involving the relocation of electricity polls and underground telecommunication cable.

He has also requested for the cooperation from Telekom and Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB) to expedite the relocation process. — DayakDaily
