KUCHING: Road users have been advised to use the alternative route, especially the Federal Administra–tion Centre (FAC) road, while waiting for Jalan Lundu-Sempadi to be repaired.
Infrastructure Development and Communications Minister Datuk Seri Michael Manyin said for the time being, the road had not been closed since the contractor had already built a diversion lane running alongside the damaged stretch.
“The public are advised not to use this road, especially big lorries, because heavy vehicles can worsen the road and the soil structure.
“The FAC road is a good alternative for users and it is a dual carriageway,” he said after visiting the site of the landslide yesterday.
Manyin, accompanied by officers from the Public Works Department, spent about 30 minutes checking the damaged stretch.
Manyin said the state would seek funds from the Federal Government for repair works. — Bernama
