KUCHING, Nov 9: Residents in Sebauh no longer have to depend on ferry services to cross Sungai Kemena following the opening of the RM105 million Batang Kemena Bridge, which provides a direct road link between Pekan Sebauh and surrounding areas.
Spanning 728.56 metres, the bridge connects Pekan Sebauh with surrounding areas, including Ulu Pandan and Ulu Binyok, through a 2.3-kilometre access road.
The bridge was opened to the public on Dec 6, 2025, ahead of its scheduled completion, replacing the ferry service across Batang Kemena.
Beyond improving accessibility, Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the new crossing is expected to support wider economic development in Sebauh and Tatau by strengthening their links with Bintulu, which is experiencing rapid industrial growth.
