First Sky Bridge in Sabah by Year-End

Kota Kinabalu City Hall is in the process of erecting Sabah’s first sky bridge over Jalan Coastal, as part of its traffic and urban transport master plan for the central business district.

The bridge would allow pedestrians to go from Asia City and Oceanus Waterfront Mall, with links to Centre Point Sabah and Warisan Square, as reported in the Daily Express.

The plan also includes the refurbishment of the road and drains along Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens, between the Centre Point Sabah and Wawasan Plaza roundabouts, as well as a traffic signal installed in place of the former roundabout.

These upgrading efforts commenced on 1 May, 2017, and are tentatively due to be completed in December 2017.

According to spokesperson, the master plan was financed through a facilitation fund under the “Unit Kerjasama Awam Swasta” in the Prime Minister’s Department. — Construction+ Online
