THE Public Works Department (PWD) has begun upgrading the road near a roundabout in one part of Sandakan, while the District Council has called on the government concessionaire to be more diligent about maintaining the stretch leading to a Kuala Penyu village.
This action was prompted by feedback about the bulges in the surface of the asphalt on Jalan Labuk, near Kg Gum Gum, at the first location and the missing edges of the road to Kg Palu Palu at the latter.Two vehicle owners spoke out about the difficulties they encountered in driving to and from their villages because of these irregularities.
“Since last week, the company’s workers have been removing the bulging asphalt,” he said on October 11.“Each of the bulges will be dealt with in this manner, before concrete is poured over the length of the road where these irregularities have appeared.”Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the concessionaire tentatively expected to finish attending to the road within “two months’ time”, according to him.
“We are reluctant to have it carried out everywhere along Jalan Labuk at once. If we did this, the roadwork would surely give rise to a bad jam which would aggravate motorists further.” “The damage was found to be ‘beyond routine maintenance’,” he said. Drivers living in the Gum Gum area of Sandakan have been unable to use this lane because of the bulges that have formed on the road surface.
“If need be, we may seek the assistance of the Road Transport Department to crack down on lorry-drivers whose vehicles carry more than their allowed weight.” Meanwhile, the Kuala Penyu District Council is arranging to improve the condition of the access road to Kg Palu Palu.
