(Sri Aman, 22nd) As one of Sarawak’s largest infrastructure projects, the Batang Lupar No. 2 Bridge is progressing smoothly, with **72.57%** of the physical works completed as of now.
Director of Sarawak’s Public Works Department, Datu Dr Cassidy Morris, stated that the progress achieved reflects the high commitment and cooperation among the main contractor, on-site engineers, and the consulting team, ensuring the project advances smoothly and remains on schedule to be completed in March 2026.
He said: “The project is currently on the right track, and its overall progress is satisfactory. The current focus is to ensure construction quality, safety standards, and site coordination are consistently maintained at the highest level.”
In a statement issued after visiting the Batang Lupar No. 2 Bridge construction site on Tuesday,
he pointed out that the project spans the Batang Lupar River, with a total length of 870 meters, adopting a cable-stayed bridge design, and includes 2.2 kilometers of connecting roads at both ends of the bridge to enhance the coastal transport network.
He also thanked the contractor for prioritizing the employment of local workers, which not only boosts the local economy but also promotes technology transfer (transfer and learning) in the fields of modern engineering and construction.
Dr Cassidy stated that once the project is fully completed, the bridge will become a new landmark in central Sarawak, further strengthening connectivity between Debak, Sri Aman, and Samarahan, and driving social and economic growth along the coastal region.
