MIRI: Work to build a temporary access road connecting the Vista Perdana housing area to the Pan Borneo Highway will begin this week.
Once completed, it would help ease travel for residents coming from Pujut. Currently, road users coming from Pujut need to travel up to 4km to the Permyjaya flyover traffic lights to make a U-turn to go to Vista Perdana on the other side of the road.
Minister for Transport, Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin disclosed on Monday (Nov 14) that the developer Naim would try its best to complete the construction within a month.
Lee added that based on the development plan, a permanent dual carriageway would be constructed when the new Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad (SPNB) housing project starts.
He was met after commissioning the newly completed Southlake traffic light junction-Miri Bypass road (Pujut Link).
Lee added that machinery would be sent to the site on Tuesday (Nov 15) to start with the clearing work and building culverts.
