KUALA LUMPUR: The Jambatan Bagan Datuk bridge, which connects Hilir Perak and Kampung Sejagop in Perak Tengah won second place in the Community Road Category of the Mino Best Project Award in conjunction with the 17th Road Engineering Association of Asia and Australasia (REAAA) Conference, held from Oct 27 to Nov 1 in Goyang, South Korea.
Public Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, who received the award from REAAA president Dr Sung-Hwan Kim at the close of the conference, said the road project, under the supervision of his Ministry, managed to connect two major districts in Perak with a mere 10km route that took only seven minutes, a vast contrast compared to the previous hour-long 67-km trip.
