“We will build a 19-km dual carriageway road that connects Serian with Gedong, as well as a 74-km four-carriageway road that connects Gedong to Samarahan.

“Also, the road will have a path for our Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) – meaning the ART line to Serian will also connect Gedong up to Samarahan and direct to Rembus, where we will have our ART depot there,” he said at a press conference after a site visit at Lubok Teranggas and the Mini Isthmus in Gedong here today.

Abang Johari said Ulu Simunjan will also be connected via the Gedong-Semaladong Road, of which the road construction will commence this year.

He said the road construction will take about three years to complete.
