TUMPAT: The Palekbang Bridge and the redevelopment of Kampung Laut projects, by the East Coast Economic Region Development Council (ECERDC), will further boost tourism and socio-economic activities in Kelantan.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said the construction of the Palekbang-Kota Baru Bridge, costing RM250mil, which will be completed by the end of November 2023, would solve the traffic congestion problem at the Sultan Yahya Petra Bridge to and from Kota Baru.
