Works minister: Repairs to critical infrastructure at 987 flood-hit locations to cost RM1.4b

JELEBU, Jan 11 ― The Works Ministry has allocated RM1.4 billion for repairing critical infrastructure such as roads, bridges and slopes at 987 locations which were affected by the recent floods.

He said of this number, clean-up work had been completed at 928 locations where at least one lane had been reopened to traffic as of today. “We started the repairs immediately after the floods receded. Some roads were completed this month but others may take at least six months. InsyaAllah, we will complete our task this year,” he told reporters here today after inspecting the Kampung Bemban bridge, which was affected by the floods.

On Negri Sembilan, he said 67 of the 75 affected locations involving roads, bridges and slopes had been cleaned up at a total cost of RM72.9 million, with repair works expected to be fully completed by June this year.
