AI Summary

An old wooden bridge on Jalan Kwong Ming Hilir, Sungai Bidut, Sibu, has been replaced with a new iron structure. The project, facilitated by SUPP Bawang Assan chairman Councillor Kevin Lau and the Sibu Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID), improves safety and convenience for residents. The construction, which began in mid-July, also included widening the drain beneath the bridge to improve water flow and mitigate flood risk. The upgrade was initiated after community leaders and residents raised concerns about the deteriorating wooden bridge earlier this year.
