MARUDI, April 13 2026: Once completed, the 142-kilometre long Miri-Marudi, Marudi- Mulu and Long Lama-Long Panai (MMMLL) road project will shorten traveling time between Miri and Mulu to just two hours, from the present nine hours, Deputy Premier Douglas Uggah Embas (picture) said at the ground-breaking ceremony today.
He said the road project, worth RM3.8 billion, is expected to be completed within 48 months and will have a major impact on development in the Baram area.
“The MMMLL road project as a whole will provide a comprehensive road network, with a main line of 142 kilometres, a 30.5 kilometre bypass linking villages, and the construction of 11 major bridges and 11 minor bridges,” Uggah, who is also the Minister of Infrastructure and Port Development, said.
“Overall, the MMMLL road project will benefit approximately 404,679 people in the Miri Division, improving access to education and healthcare, distributing agricultural produce, and opening up new economic opportunities including tourism and commercial activities.
“ In addition to improving mobility and the economy, this project also supports the government's development aspiration,” he said.
He added the construction of this road network will be linked to the Sarawak–Sabah Link Road (SSLR) Phase 2 which is also being actively implemented.
