The project involves upgrading the current two-lane two-way highway to a four-lane two-way highway, which involves constructing four bridges as well as replacing an old bridge. An upgrading of five main intersections; providing five U-turns at intersections, one roundabout, one right turn lane and 10 bus lay-by locations. The project also encompasses relocation of utilities and land acquisition; and installation of road lighting and furniture.<\/p>\n

The total cost of the project is RM80 million in construction and is expected to complete within 21 months from 10 November 2015 to 9 August 2017.<\/p>\n

The finished product is expected to ease the current traffic congestion occurring at the 10th<\/sup> Mile to 15th<\/sup> Mile stretch, which is considered to be the \u201cbottleneck\u201d between Serian and Kuching and the missing link of the Pan-Borneo Highway.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it will improve road safety and minimise the risk of accidents, as well as stimulate economic activity along the highway.<\/p>\n
