IPOH, Jan 6 — Repair work of Jalan Chikus, linking Chikus town and Jalan Attaduri to Teluk Intan, in Hilir Perak, which was damaged following a cave-in on Monday due to heavy flood, will take three months, said Perak Infrastructure, Energy, Water and Public Transport Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Zolkafly Harun.
He said the repair work would cost RM2.2 million and during the period, motorists are advised to use alternative roads to Teluk Intan.
The alternative roads are Jalan Teluk Dalam-Teluk Gedung, Jalan Changkat Jong-Kampar, Jalan Sungai Lampam-Sungai Tunku, Jalan Sungai Manik Labu Kubong Chenderong Balai and Jalan Attaduri,” he told a media conference today.
In another development, he said the Perak state executive council, at its meeting today, decided to temporary stop all recreational activities in the highland and interior areas for public safety following several incidents of landslides, including along the East-West Expressway in Gerik today.
On the issue of the bad condition of Jalan Kampung Redang Sawa in Kampar to Kampung Pisang, in Batu Gajah, Zolkafly said an allocation of RM80 million had been set aside for the road project.
The Perak Public Works Department (PWD) would call for the tender for the project next month and work on the project is expected to take 36 months, he added.
On the Jambatan Stesen Bas Tanjung Malim, linking Tanjung Malim and Hulu Bernam, in Selangor, he said the bridge is safe for use.
