TAWAU, Feb 28 (Bernama) - Works Minister Datuk Seri Shaziman Abu Mansor says upgrading of Jalan Kalabakan-Sapulut over 145km is about 10 percent completed and ahead of schedule.
The RM270 million project that started in Oct last year will shorten traveling time from Tawau to Kota Kinabalu from three to four hours.
"When completed, the entire Jalan Kalabakan-Sapulut road upgrading project will cost RM920,000 or about RM1 million.
"The cost may be high, but we believe it will give substantial economic returns not only to people of Kalabakan and Tawau but also those on Sabah east coast, including Semporna," he said after visiting the project site in Kalabakan, about 100km from here.
Shaziman said when completed in Oct 2013, the road project will benefit people in the interior regions such as Keningau, Tambunan and Tenom.
