KUCHING: Construction of the Pan Borneo Highway Sarawak stretch from Telok Melano to Sematan was completed by the relevant contractor on January 4, 2019.

This is according to a press statement issued by the Infrastructure Development and Transportation Ministry yesterday.

“However, the new 32.77km road stretch is not yet open to the public until the federal government through the Works Ministry gazettes it as a federal highway,” the ministry said.

Even though Sarawakians are eager to use the new road to Telok Melano, members of the public are cautioned not to travel on it yet until it is gazetted.

“Only authorised vehicles are allowed to use the road at this point in time.

“The authorities have been alerted to take action against vehicles trespassing on the road until it is gazetted and officially opened to the public in the near future.

“We seek the cooperation of the public in this matter,” the statement said.
