SARIKEI, Oct 2: Nyelong By-Pass will be upgraded to a four-lane, two-way road to increase traffic capacity, alongside the construction of a new road connecting Nyelong By-Pass to Kwong Ming Minah to improve traffic flow in the town.

In a TVS news report, Deputy Minister of Plantation and Commodities Datuk Seri Huang Tiong Sii said both projects were important in providing smoother alternative routes amid the increase in the number of vehicles, particularly along Jalan Repok.

He said the Nyelong By-Pass upgrading project involved a 3.6-kilometre stretch, which would be upgraded from a two-lane, one-way road under the Public Works Department (JKR) R3 standard to a four-lane, two-way road under the JKR U5 standard.
