Limbang is to get a new Road Transport Department (JPJ) complex backed by an approved RM28.7 million allocation, with construction scheduled to take 24 months.
The project includes three blocks of staff quarters. Sarawak Tribune reported that the groundbreaking took place on Oct 28, marking the start of a new facilities project rather than the opening of a replacement service centre.
The contractor has been urged to aim for 18 months without reducing specifications or quality. That is a request to accelerate delivery; the stated construction schedule remains 24 months. No exact opening date was given in the report.
For residents of Limbang and nearby areas, the intended benefit is a more comfortable, customer-friendly place to handle JPJ matters, alongside improved working facilities for staff. The report does not announce a counter relocation or any immediate change to where motorists should go for services.
A vehicle inspection centre at the site has also been suggested as a future addition. It is not presented as an approved part of the RM28.7 million project, so motorists should not read the groundbreaking as confirmation that inspection services will be available there.
