Primary tabs
According to Miri Public Works Department (or JKR Jabatan Kerja Raya), there will half road closure at Pujut-Bulatan "Flyover" adjacent to Boulevard Shopping Complex from 1st of August to 7th August, 8.30 am to 4.30pm for some repair work on the expansion joint.
The 'flyover' was built in 2007 to ease the congestion at the Pujut-Bulatan Roundabout. Before the 'flyover' was built, the traffic - which by then had gotten to a point where congestion at the roundabout was absolutely unbearable as the roundabout was too large for cars to merge as other cars barreling down the roundabout had very fast speeds.
Although it was not described which half of the road will be closed for this repair work, it is expected that if it is the one in the direction going to Pujut, jams will be pretty bad in the evenings.

Long before Lutong bridge was constructed, the area had a ferry service, possibly at or near the site of what is now the Lutong bridge today. These pictures were taken on 4th July, 1945 during the ending stages of the Japanese occupation, by the Australian 2/13 infantry battalion aiming to reoccupy Sarawak from Japanese.
