Miri’s landslide-prone roads on Canada Hill set for RM30 million rebuild in 2027

Miri’s Jalan Canada Hill and access road to Kampung Padang Kerbau are set for a RM30 million rebuild in 2027. The allocation is part of the 13th Malaysia Plan. The project is currently under assessment by consultants and engineers. The exact method of improvement remains uncertain due to the area’s terrain and recurring landslides.

It could involve reconstructing the road foundation, widening the road, or building bridges at specific sections. Lee Kim Shin, State Transport Minister, stressed the need for professional engineering design after the assessment. Until then, dangerous sections will be addressed immediately while awaiting the RM30 million reconstruction.

The Jalan Canada Hill-Grand Old Lady road is under Miri City Council’s maintenance, but emergency funding may be sought for repairs. The road to the Petroleum Science Museum is particularly challenging.
