KUALA NERUS, July 13 (Bernama) -- Repair work on the Aring 8-Kenyir-Kuala Jeneris Road, along Jalan Tasik Kenyir, near Hulu Terengganu, which collapsed due to heavy rains late last year, will only begin this November.
Terengganu Public Works Department (JKR) director Ir Dr Hasli Ibrahim said the government has approved RM36 million for the repair of the serious road collapse.
"We are now at the final design stage before procurement takes place, so according to our plan and Insya-Allah…this November," he said during a working visit by Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi to Kampung Tanjung Batu Rakit here today.
During the visit, Nanta inspected the road and cliff repair project on Route T145 Jalan Mengabang Telipot-Batu Rakit, which was implemented to overcome coastal erosion due to the phenomenon of big waves occurring during the monsoon season every year.
A serious landslide that occurred along a 100-metre stretch due to heavy rains during the monsoon season late last year forced the closure of Jalan Aring 8-Kenyir-Kuala Jeneris to all vehicles until now.
