Hulu terengganu: 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.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, 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 stated during a working visit by Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi to Kampung Tanjung Batu Rakit today.

During the visit, Minister Nanta inspected the road and cliff repair project on Route T145 Jalan Mengabang Telipot-Batu Rakit. This project was implemented to address coastal erosion caused by big waves during the monsoon season each year.

A significant 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.
