Sarawak's Premier, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg, announced plans for a new coastal road between Kuching and Sri Aman. The goal is to cut travel time down to just one hour. The dual carriageway will start at the Sejingkat Bridge, pass through Kota Samarahan, Tanjung Embang, Sebuyau, and Lingga, then connect to the Pan Borneo Highway at Gedong. He said this will help local businesses move farm goods and other products more easily while also providing better access to a planned port and airport in Tanjung Embang for global exports.

The Premier noted the road would serve as a vital alternative, specifically mentioning the currently poor rural road conditions around Lingga that hinder daily travel. He stated that improving connectivity would create new entrepreneurial opportunities for residents, allowing them to sell products in Kuching or ship them from the Tanjung Embang export hub. He framed the project as a key effort to link communities and open up economic prospects across the region.
