Works Minister Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi has proposed allocating RM29.4 million for repairing 10.9 kilometres of the federal Bintulu-Bakun route, known as FT803. The proposed repair works aim to address sections with deteriorated road conditions and damage. Following initial inspections, Nanta emphasized the importance of evaluating completed repairs and identifying areas requiring further attention.
He highlighted that the route's heavy vehicle usage, while crucial for sustaining economic activities, contributes to pavement deterioration. Nanta stressed the need for ongoing monitoring of repaired sections to prevent faster deterioration and ensure safer, more comfortable journeys for FT803 users. The proposed repairs were revealed during an inspection of the route, attended by Works Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Azman Ibrahim and Sarawak Public Works Department director Datu Cassidy Morris.
