Miri's RM30 million special allocation approved under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) will be used to reconstruct Jalan Canada Hill to the Grand Old Lady and the access road to Kampung Padang Kerbau. The project, currently in the consultancy assessment and design stage, will involve reconstruction and possible widening of the roads.
The exact engineering approach remains undetermined due to the challenging terrain and recurring landslides. State Transport Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin stated that the final decision on the method for improvement will be made after professional design completion. Lee emphasized that immediate action would be taken to address dangerous sections while awaiting the implementation of the reconstruction project.
The Senadin assemblyman noted that the Jalan Canada Hill-Grand Old Lady is under Miri City Council's responsibility for maintenance, but requested the Public Works Department to prepare an estimate first, which will then be reviewed by the relevant road management committee.
