Kota Kinabalu: Projects Sabah Inspector General Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak said several work packages under the Sabah Pan Borneo Highway Project are making encouraging progress, with WP3, WP4, WP10 and WP29 on track to obtain their Certificates of Partial Completion (CPC) this year.
He said a major milestone was achieved under WP4 with the opening of the new four-lane dual carriageway between the Bongawan Flyover and Benoni Flyover on June 15, which is expected to improve traffic flow and road safety.
Salleh also said WP6 and WP7 are expected to complete their original scope of works, achieve CPC status and open the route from the Putatan Flyover to the Sepanggar Interchange by October.
The remaining five Phase 1A packages are scheduled for completion between 2027 and 2028, but he stressed there should be no room for avoidable delays.
"Every delay comes with a cost. It increases project expenses and delays the economic and social benefits that the people of Sabah deserve," he said after a site visit with Public Works Department officials, contractors and relevant agencies.
