KUCHING (March 23): The traffic light intersection, previously roundabout 5 along Jalan Setia Raja/Stutong here connecting the Kuching-Samarahan Expressway, is now operational.

Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said with the early activation of the traffic light system there, it will ease the traffic flow in the area especially during peak hours.

“However, even with the early activation of the traffic light system, I wish to urge the public to continue to drive with extra caution as the sites along the Kuching-Samarahan Expressway stretch are still under construction,” he said at the traffic light activation today.

He added that the overall project to construct traffic light intersections at the five roundabouts along the Kuching-Samarahan Expressway is ahead of schedule by 55 per cent with its contractual completion date in January 2024.

“I wish to commend the hard work and commitment of the contractor to complete the task, even during the unprecedented weather over the past couple weeks. Also to the public, thank you for your continued patience and for adhering to public road safety during the construction process.

“To our Muslim brothers and sisters, Happy fasting. May the month of Ramadan be kind, prosperous, and generous to all of us,” he added.
