Bailey Bridge As Temporary Replacement For Collapsed Sungai Liat Bridge

IPOH, April 21 (Bernama) -- A Bailey bridge will be constructed as a temporary replacement for the Sungai Liat that collapsed yesterday morning to reconnect Felda Residence Hot Spring, Kampung Orang Asli Sungai Tisong and Buyong Mas Sanctuary Campsite near Sungkai.
Perak Infrastructure, Energy, Water and Public Transport Committee chairman Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin said the construction, costing about RM1 million, will start today and is expected to be done by April 29.
'The bridge will be a one-way route that can be used by all ordinary vehicles, including lorries with oil palm loads, around the affected area. It is the best measure to ensure that the problem doesn't drag on,' he said during a media conference at the Perak Darul Ridzuan Building here today.
