THE state government has found a new developer to complete one portion of the Jalan Bukit Kukus paired road project that hit a snag due to financial constraints faced by the previous private developer.

Penang work, utilities and flood mitigation committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said the previous developer Geo Valley Sdn Bhd had entered into an agreement with Aspen Group for the latter to take over work on the 0.8km stretch.
