The State Government of Pahang will start construction works on a new permanent bridge in Kuantan, Malaysia. The new structure will replace the existing Bailey bridge at the Kuantan-Segamat highway. The tendering process is expected to commence by the end of 2024. Works on the project are set to start in 2025 and will last for two years. 

In line with this, a funding application of RM17 million has been submitted to the Ministry of Economy (MOE) and the Ministry of Finance (MOF) for the proposed permanent bridge.
