Upgrading of Five Federal Bridges in Kulim-Bandar Baharu Expected to Meet Schedule

The ongoing replacement and widening of five federal bridges along the route connecting Bandar Baharu and Kulim are anticipated to be completed on time. Current progress on these projects ranges between 25% and 78%.
Progress and Timeline for Bridge Upgrades

The five bridges undergoing upgrades are the Sungai Chelong Bridge, valued at RM13.5 million; the Sungai Ular Bridge, also RM13.5 million; FT136/039/23 Bridge at RM15 million; FT136/042/43 Bridge for RM12.6 million; and FT136/045/88 Bridge, costing RM17 million. These projects are collectively scheduled for completion within a 24-month timeframe.
Enhanced Safety Standards for Upgraded Bridges

The Ministry of Works (KKR) has stated that these bridges will be widened from the R3 standard to R5. This upgrade aims to significantly increase the level of safety, particularly on sections of the road that feature bends. The Sungai Chelong Bridge, for instance, is being constructed to R5 standards, indicating a wider structure.
Confidence in Project Completion Despite Challenges

Despite facing a slight delay in work progress and a situation where one project required re-tendering, the Minister of Works, Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, has expressed confidence that all five projects will be finished according to their planned schedules. This assurance was given following an inspection of the construction progress.
