KUCHING, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- The Sarawak government has allocated RM204 million for road construction projects in Batu Kawa to ease traffic congestion following the expansion of residential areas in the locality.

Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the projects would include the construction of a new road linking Batu Kawa to Stapok before connecting to the Pan Borneo Highway via Jalan Moyan.

“The projects will also involve widening Jalan Matang into a four-lane road to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in the area.

“The RM204 million allocation comes from the state government to improve traffic flow in Batu Kawa, where the expansion of residential areas has resulted in increasingly congested roads,” he told reporters after attending the launch of the Jalan Batu Kawa-Jalan Stephen Yong Road Construction Project here today.

Abang Johari said the development of the road network was part of the state government's plan to strengthen connectivity between suburban areas and Kuching city.

He said Batu Kawa was among the suburban areas undergoing development and being connected to Kuching, alongside Petra Jaya and Samarahan.
