Telisai–Lumut Highway will be the third highway in Brunei Darussalam, the other two are Muara–Tutong Highway and Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Highway. The new highway is currently under construction and is scheduled to be completed in February 2013, being handled by the Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB).[1]
This dual carriageway will be built from Lumut Bypass (dual carriageway) stretching eastwards through the woods at about 3 kilometres south of the remaining stretch of Jalan Tutong-Seria (see note) (single carriageway), merging with the dual carriageway Tutong Bypass at north-east. The total length of the highway is 18.6 kilometres (11.6 miles).
The new highway will ease traffic between Tutong and Kuala Belait, cutting travel times between the affected stretch.
Notes
- Parts of the original Jalan Tutong-Seria single carriageway had been replaced by Tutong Bypass and Lumut Bypass dual carriageways, leaving the Telisai-Sungai Liang stretch untouched.
