    The Selampit Bridge project in Lundu was 94 days behind schedule as of Thursday, with physical work at 41.09% against a planned 79.05%. The gap is significant for residents of Selampit, Kendaie and nearby communities who are waiting for the new crossing, but the project is not yet ready for traffic. A site review focused on delayed funding flows, contractor cash flow and the purchase and delivery of bridge materials, including piles and girder components. Financial progress stood at 46.48% against an 80.64% target. Payment certificate No. 18, worth RM757,344.81, is still being processed, while allocations are released in phases to the Public Works Department. The revised completion date is Jan 3, 2027. Officials said a recovery plan is being monitored, but no earlier opening date was announced. Until the bridge is completed and officially opened, people travelling through the area should continue to use the current crossing arrangements.
