MIRI - A new road will be built to connect Permaijaya newtownship to Eastwood Valley thus complete the missing link from the Asean Bridge to the Miri Airport, said Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.
"It will facilitate travel for those from Brunei to Miri but we don't know how much it would cost as this will be determined by the Treasury," he said at the Hari Raya gathering organised by Miri Malay Charitable Welfare Trust Board.
The road will have a bridge crossing over to the fringes of the Eastwood Valley Golf and Country Club on the eastern part of the Canada Hill to be part of the plan to extend the city and reduce traffic congestion in the present seaside of the city.
Presently, the road from the Asean Bridge passing Permaijaya, crossing the Pujut 7 bridge, leads to the city.
Taib also said that the Federal government had agreed to build a flyover at the Pujut corner that entails the construction of road to link the Miri By-pass to airport and another flyover at Puchong to solve the traffic woes in the city centre.
The chief minister also urged local community to change their perception on job opportunities in the tourism industry now dominated by people from other states as well as foreigners.
