The Works Ministry has submitted proposals to build 10 flyovers at four major roads in Kota Kinabalu under the 11th Malaysia Plan (11MP), in addition to two flyovers currently under construction at Jalan Lintas.
Works Minister Datuk Seri Haji Fadhillah Haji Yusuf said whether they would be approved is expected to be announced in June this year.Fadhillah said this in response to Barisan Nasional (BN) Senator Datuk Chin Su Phin's question at the Dewan Negara sitting here.
Chin, who is also Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) deputy president, had asked the Works Ministry the number of flyovers that would be built in Kota Kinabalu by 2020 besides the two flyovers currently under construction, as reported in media.
Fadhillah said the Government has approved an allocation of RM262 million to upgrade two intersections along Jalan Lintas by building two flyovers at Jalan Kolam and Jalan Tuaran intersections.
The scope of the project involves expanding the road to a dual three-lane carriageway that stretches 6.3 kilometres, he said.
Fadhillah said this project was part of the outer ring road project in Kota Kinabalu which would be implemented in phases as it incurred a huge cost of RM1.11 billion.
Apart from the projects at Jalan Lintas, Fadhillah said the ministry through Phase 2 of the Highway Network Development Plan (HNDP) in Sabah and Sarawak, has identified several other intersections to be upgraded, namely:
1. To build three flyovers at Jalan Kingfisher, Jalan UMS junction and Indah Permai junction to upgrade Jalan Sulaman/UMS.
2. To build three flyovers at Jalan Penampang Bypass, Jalan Lido junction and Lintas Plaza junction, which are part of the second phase of upgrading works for Jalan Lintas.
3. To build three flyovers at Perkasa roundabout, Jalan Istiadat junction and Jalan Pasir Putih junction to upgrade Jalan Tun Fuad.
4. To build a flyover at Damai/Foh Sang intersection to upgrade Jalan Kolam-Minintod.
