KUCHING: Sarawak’s first trunk road, which is about 1,500km in all, will become a dual carriageway by 2025, said Deputy Works Minister Datuk Yong Khoon Seng.
“For the Sarawak portion, it will cost approximately RM9bil. For Sabah’s portion, which is about 1,000km, it will cost around RM7bil. This is a long-term com- mitment with a clearly laid out plan. It cannot be built overnight, or over two or three years, but definitely, by 2025, according to the plan, it will be done,” Yong said on Friday.
