Bridge work suspended

WORK on the construction of a RM2mil bridge over a stream along Jalan Kulim in Kampung Machang Bubok near Bukit Mertajam has been suspended temporarily following objections from shopkeepers there.

State Public Works, Utilities and Transportation Committee chairman Lim Hock Seng said the shopkeepers had complained their business had been affected following the partial closure of the road last week.
