KOTA KINABALU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob is scheduled to launch four new packages of the Pan Borneo Highway project this Saturday at Dataran Tamu Pekan Kota Kinabatangan, said Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin.
\nHe said the prime minister, who is\u00a0scheduled to arrive tomorrow for a visit to Sandakan and Kinabatangan, would launch the highway project, which involves\u00a0the route from\u00a0Kinabatangan to Telupid.
\nBung Moktar said contractors for the package WP15, WP28, WP29 and WP30 had been appointed and\u00a0 work would start immediately after the launch.
\nHe said work on the four packages is scheduled for completion in 2024.
\n“The implementation of this project will resolve complaints from\u00a0residents about the damaged road from\u00a0Batu 32 Sandakan heading to Telupid and from\u00a0Batu 32 Sandakan heading to Kinabatangan,”\u00a0he said in a statement here today.
\nPhase one of the Sabah Pan Borneo Highway project covers a distance of 706 kilometres\u00a0from Sindumin to Kota Kinabalu and stretches to Kudat, as well as Tawau to Batu 32 Sandakan up to Ranau.
\nMeanwhile, Bung Moktar said there would be another new package for the\u00a0highway project, scheduled to begin next year, for the route\u00a0between Serusop, Tuaran, and Pituru, Kota Belud, involving allocation under the 12th\u00a0Malaysia Plan.
\n“These five new packages will bring to 16 work packages carried out so far out of a total of 35 packages in phase one of the Sabah Pan Borneo Highway project.
\n“Of the 16 packages, a total of 11 packages involve routes on the west coast of Sabah, from Sindumin on the Sarawak border to Kudat, and the progress so far is at 54 percent and is scheduled for completion in 2023,” he added.
\nHe expressed the\u00a0hope that the remaining 19 packages of the Pan Borneo Highway project could be implemented simultaneously to expedite completion of the project.
