RECODA’s Project Management Division recently attended progress meetings with the respective consultants for the Miri-Marudi, Marudi-Mulu (Kuala Melinau) and Long Lama-Long Panai Road (MMMLL) Road Project Phase 1, Contract Packages 1 & 2, as well as the Northern Coastal Highway (NCH) Limbang and Lawas sections.

The MMMLL Road Project consists of 42km of JKR R5 road from Miri to Marudi and 100km of JKR R3 road from Marudi to Mulu and Long Lama to Long Panai. The new roads will improve travel safety, provide easier access to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mulu National Park and connect to the Sarawak-Sabah Link Road (SSLR).

Meanwhile, the 87.96km NCH project comprises three sections in Limbang and two sections in Lawas, with the route starting from the Tedungan Customs, Immigration, Quarantine and Security (CIQS) Complex to the Pandaruan CIQS in Limbang, and from the Mengkalap CIQS to the Merapok CIQS in Lawas.

These two Sarawak-funded mega projects will help establish a continuous direct road network from the southern to northern tip of Sarawak into Sabah, by linking with major routes such as the Pan Borneo Highway and the Sarawak-Sabah Link Road (SSLR), while further strengthening accessibility, economic growth and socio-economic opportunities across the region.
