BINTULU: The Public Works Department (JKR) through a notice on its Facebook page stated that part of the Kemena River will be closed for 48 hours from 10 – 11 June.
The closure is necessary to facilitate the installation of the ‘mid-span form’ on the east side of the Bintulu – Jepak bridge.
During that period, the river will be closed from 6 am to allow the barge to be anchored in Kemena River to lower the ‘mid-span Form Traveller’ for the construction of the Bintulu-Jepak ‘cable-stayed’ bridge.
Both river and road users are advised to be extra careful especially when approaching the construction site.
For any enquiries, the public can contact Nurnajwani at the JKR Bintulu Division office at 086-332077/086-332544 or 086-332923 during office hours.
