DARO: The Sarawak government will build bridge to complement the state’s coastal road network that links places such as Pulau Bruit, Semop, Daro and Matu as well as the Tanjung Manis Halal Hub.

Sarawak Chief Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said the bridge across the Batan Lassa river, measuring between 2.5km and 3km, would be the second longest bridge in Sarawak after the Batang Lupar Bridge, and was expected to be built within the next three years.
