RM5.8 million project to light up 11.9km Petra Jaya-Rambungan route, completion set for June 2027
A RM5.8 million street lighting project along the 11.9-kilometre Petra Jaya–Rambungan route has been handed over for implementation, with completion targeted by June 16, 2027.
Sarawak Deputy Minister in the Premier's Department Datuk Dr Abdul Rahman Junaidi said the project will install and rehabilitate high- and low-voltage systems along the route, particularly in the Matang section. The work includes 11kV overhead lines with six 50kVA transformers and 794 LED street lights, along with underground cabling, mini pillars and control boxes.
Dr Abdul Rahman said vandalism had been a recurring problem — this is roughly the fifth time lighting has been reinstalled along this road — and called for closer community cooperation to monitor and report suspicious activity.
The road serves as a main route and an alternative to Jalan Matang, with usage rising alongside nearby housing development. The project connects the Pantai Damai and Tupong state constituencies.
The contractor is Arena Megasuria Sdn Bhd, with Perunding Teknikal Consult Sdn Bhd as consultant and the Kuching Division Public Works Department as superintending officer.
