SUKAU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor inspected the Pan Borneo Highway WP25 project site here on Wednesday and called for immediate coordination among agencies to keep the project on schedule.

Hajiji made the stop for an inspection, monitoring and briefing session while travelling from Sandakan to Lahad Datu in conjunction with his Security Inspection Visit to the Eastern Sabah Safety Zone (Esszone).

He was briefed by the Public Works Department (PWD) that the WP25 package, covering about 14.96km from Kampung Perpaduan Datuk Moh to Sukau, had reached 12.35 per cent physical progress against the original scheduled target of 15.30 per cent, with financial progress at 11.52 per cent.

The RM269.9 million project, scheduled for completion by February 2028, includes a flyover, bus stops, pedestrian bridges, drainage and culvert systems to improve road safety and comfort for users.

Hajiji said the State Government was committed to ensuring development projects are planned, monitored and completed on schedule for the people’s benefit, while stressing that land acquisition, utility relocation and other site constraints must be resolved quickly to avoid further delays.
