KUCHING, Nov 12: Sarawak is strengthening its road network planning across the Kuching Division through the Integrated Traffic Master Plan 2030 to address traffic congestion arising from the rapid growth of residential areas and new developments, particularly in the outskirts of the city.
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the plan involved using data analysis and traffic modelling simulations to anticipate future residential growth and ensure new developments were supported by adequate road infrastructure.
He said the Sarawak government had identified several road projects to improve connectivity between Kuching and its surrounding suburbs, including Batu Kawa, Petra Jaya, Samarahan, Siburan and Serian.
