Sarikei breaks ground on Nyelong widening and new connecting road
-
Two separate road projects launched in Sarikei on Oct 2 aim to ease traffic around Jalan Repok and provide better links into town.
The larger job is a 3.6km upgrade of Nyelong By-Pass to a four-lane, two-way road. Its RM86 million cost falls under the Sarawak Ministry of Infrastructure and Port Development, with JKR implementing the project.
A separate link of about 2km will join Nyelong By-Pass to Kwong Ming Minah. This RM12 million project is under the Rajang Delta Development Agency and is intended to relieve peak-hour congestion, including traffic near SMK Tinggi Sarikei.
The figures refer to two different projects, not two estimates for the same road. At the groundbreaking, RM5.32 million in land compensation had been paid for 28 of 29 titled parcels involved in acquisition. No completion dates or detailed diversions were given, so road users should follow current on-site traffic controls rather than treat the new links as already available.
