The recent Hari Raya Aidilfitri saw the worst traffic crawl in both directions leading to the bridge near Kampung Bukit Kuang, Kemaman.

For the residents of Chukai and nearby areas, they have endured almost similar situations throughout the year.

The bridge was built in the early 1960s to replace a ferry and served the people very well right up to the 1990s.

Now, with the tremendous increase in the number of users of that stretch of road, the bridge can do longer serve its purpose effectively.

It is high time that a new bridge was built alongside it to make driving both safer and comfortable across the river.
