The Lambir Section Requires Redesign and is Expected to be Ready in 2026

Phase one of the Sarawak Pan Borneo Highway (LPB) project is nearing full completion, with an anticipated opening in the second quarter of this year. However, a specific segment, the Lambir section located in Miri and falling under work package 11, necessitates a redesign. This particular section is now projected to be ready for use in 2026.
Lambir Section Undergoing Redesign

The Lambir section is a component of the broader work package 11 within the Miri area. The necessity for a redesign indicates that the existing plans for this segment require significant modification before construction can be finalised. This redesign process is the primary reason for its delayed readiness compared to the rest of phase one.
Revised Completion Timeline

While the majority of phase one of the Sarawak LPB, spanning 706 kilometres from Telok Melano to Miri, is set to open this year with 99 per cent work progress, the Lambir section's completion is a separate timeline. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi has stated that this specific section is expected to be ready in 2026. This revised schedule accounts for the extensive redesign work required.
