Motorists are advised to be extra cautious when approaching the Jalan Tun Razak-Jalan Foochow traffic junction over the next several months as major repair works have begun.
According to Public Works Department (JKR) Sarawak in a press release today, the repair works which started on Aug 8 is scheduled to be completed by November this year.
The federal government funded project is at stage one at the moment and involves milling and resurfacing works at various locations including concrete pavement with physical progress at 30 per cent.

They gave assurance that an intervention plan has been put in place including traffic management with assistance from the traffic police to control traffic flow at peak hours in the morning and afternoon.
JKR Sarawak advised all road users to be cautious when travelling along Jalan Tun Razak during the construction period and to adhere to traffic warning signs on site.
