KUCHING: Major remedial works will be carried out to rectify the dilapidated sections of the village road at Kg Sungai Tapang.
Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap said that the remedial works will involve removing and replacing existing pavement followed by laying geo textile, aggregates and premix.
“The contractors also agreed to carry out and complete the remedial works tentatively before the first day of Chinese New Year (Jan 22),” he said.
Yap assured that he will continue to monitor the situation to ensure that all the agreed remedial works and necessary periodic maintenance works on the village roads are carried out and completed properly, and on schedule.
