MBKS plans 200m drain upgrade for flood-prone Kuching South roads
-
MBKS is preparing a 200-metre reinforced-concrete box drain to improve flood protection along Jalan Padungan and Jalan Chan Chin Ann.
The proposed drain would measure 1.2 metres wide and 1.2 metres deep. Survey work, possible utility relocation, road and footpath reinstatement, plus traffic and safety arrangements are part of the plan.
The two roads and nearby Jalan Abell area have recurring flash floods during intense rain. MBKS said the existing network cannot handle high stormwater volumes easily, but work in this built-up city-centre area must be designed around businesses, roads and underground services.
The project is not at construction stage yet. A consultant must first complete the plans and technical documents before MBKS starts the tender process. Drivers and businesses should expect temporary traffic arrangements only when work eventually begins.
