In a post shared on its social media, JKR Sarawak said the project involves the construction of approximately 6.3km of road to JKR R5 standards, featuring a two-way undivided carriageway, two signalised intersections and minor junctions.

The scope of works also includes the construction of the 39.8-metre-long Loba Gong Bridge.
