BETONG, Sun -- Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah today asked the state Public Works Department (JKR) to closely monitor the ongoing construction of three big projects in Spaoh district near here.

According to him, the three projects are the Bebuling Airport, Sungai Paku bridge and Debak-Tuie Road.He was informed that airport project is delayed by 18.99 per cent in its construction schedule.
The RM108million project was scheduled to be completed on September 17 this year.
The delay is said to be mainly caused by problems in constructing access road to transport the machinery and building materials as well as poor weather conditions.
However, the contractor has now resolved the issue and is catching up on the delay with sufficient machinery and manpower at the site.
On the Sungai Paku bridge at Tanjung Sebekut, it is delayed 6.71 per cent, mainly attributed to the slow performance by the contractor, delayed arrival of construction materials from Malaya and slow delivery of machinery and construction materials to the site
The 100-meter long steel arch bridge costing RM26.75million is now scheduled to be completed by December 21, instead of the original date on November 5, 2023.
Its construction had commenced on 6th May, 2021
Uggah said all contractors must take note of the steps taken by JKR to catch up on the delays.
"They too must comply with all terms and conditions of their contracts,” he said.
