KUCHING Oct 19: Kuching South City Council (MBKS) Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng has lauded the Sarawak government’s commitment to enhancing infrastructure and resolving traffic issues for the public with the RM88.98 million Stutong Link Road and the Roundabout upgrade project.

Speaking to reporters after the handover ceremony for the project from the Sarawak Public Works Department (JKR) to the contractor, Ibraco Construction Sdn Bhd, near SMK Tabuan Jaya here today, he said the project will provide significant long-term benefits for commuters and area residents despite the 24-month construction timeline.

He also explained that the council initiated the project over two years ago to address traffic congestion affecting residents and schools in the area after the Kuching-Kota Samarahan Expressway was completed.
