KUALA TERENGGANU: After a three-year delay, the Kuala Terengganu bypass, which connects Kuala Ibai and Kampung Durian Burung near here, has finally opened to an estimated 70,000-plus road users.

Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the 5.8km road could reduce traffic congestion on the existing Jalan Persekutuan in the city here, especially during peak hours, major festive seasons and school holidays.
