In a statement, LBU claimed that speculation on the possible termination of its role since the change of government in May 2018 had impacted work on the 786-km highway. It claims to have completed almost 50% of the work at a cost of RM19.36mil per kilometre, inclusive of the construction of bridges and interchanges.
IT is easy to fathom why the project delivery partner (PDP) for the Pan Borneo Highway is unhappy about the termination of its mandate for the RM16.12bil highway project.
The PDP – Lebuhraya Borneo Utara (LBU) - contends that it has completed work ahead of schedule and saved RM1bil so far. LBU expects to save another RM900mil on the project, with all savings going back to the government. Hence, it sees no reason why the government wants to remove it as the PDP.
