Jalan Yahya Awal flyover now open to motorists
With the recent opening of the new Jalan Yahya Awal flyover, motorists can benefit from smooth traffic flow and less congestion.
Spanning across 800m, the RM30.41mil flyover is one of eight infrastructure projects by Iskandar Regional Development Authority (Irda) under the Ninth Malaysian Plan.
Irda chief executive officer Ismail Ibrahim said the flyover was aimed at dispersing congestion and promoting smooth traffic flow.
“Motorists commuting to and from the Johor Baru city centre can now enjoy less hassle of traffic jams.
“Besides this, the enhanced accessibility can generate employment opportunities and improve the quality of life in surrounding areas,” he said.
Ismail assured the public that it was compulsory for contractors handling Irda projects to adhere to worksite rules.
“We urge the contractors to follow worksite guidelines to ensure safety. We will not hesitate to take action against errant contractors.
“We welcome public feedback on projects they feel are not being carried out properly,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ismail said that Irda’s RMK9 road and highway projects were progressing on schedule.
“Besides the roads and highways, we are improving the city centre’s drainage system. This project is 95% completed and on schedule.
“The city can see improved drainage and less flash floods when the system is completed,” he said, adding that the remaining work would be completed by the second quarter of this year.
Members of the public wishing to enquire or provide feedback can call 07-218 3100 or e-mail rmk9info@irda.com.my
