Why the delay in completing U-turns on Lintas highway?

23rd November, 2007

A concerned motorist,AWANG of Kota Kinabalu says that the delay by the contractor in completing two U-turns in Lintas,Luyang is posing danger to the motoring public.

“It has been four months yet the two U-turns, one located in front of the City Mall and the other in front of Taman Iramanis,have not been completed,” he said. “Why is it taking so long for the contractor to completed the works there?”

AWANG said that he almost knocked a vehicle from behind,while making a U-turn recently,because the unsealed stretch is slippery.

He said that although red cones have been placed along the side of the the unsealed stretch,it still poses a danger to motorists at night.

“The location of the red cones placed on the side of gravel stretch on the side of gravel stretch is making the lane narrow and motorists are at risk of knocking against other vehicles travelling on the other lane,” he said.

When contacted, a spokesman for the Public Works Department office said that the developer in charge of the road project had applied to the relevant authorities to widen the section.

However,he said,some issues needed to be worked out between the developer and contractor for the project to proceed.

“They have been advised to speed up the construction for both the U-turns,to prevent further inconvenience to the motoring public,’ he said.
