Construction work on the 415 km long Sabah-Sarawak link road project, expected to commence in 2020, is not likely to affect Phase 2 of the Pan-Borneo highway, connecting two Malaysian states, Sabah and Sarawak, with Brunei and Kalimantan, Indonesia. The Sabah-Sarawak link road project was approved in April 2019, 13 years after its feasibility study was conducted in 2006. Construction work on the project, which bypasses Brunei, is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2020. It is expected to entail an investment of RM 5.35 billion.
