KOTA BHARU, July 22 (Bernama) – The Kelantan government plans to develop two Rest and Service Areas (R&R) along the Lingkaran Tengah Utama (LTU) Expressway and the Kota Bharu–Kuala Krai (KBKK) Highway to support local economic growth and tourism.
State Public Works, Infrastructure, Water and Rural Development Committee chairman Datuk Dr Izani Husin said the proposed sites are in Laloh, Kuala Krai for the LTU alignment, and Bukit Bakar, Machang for the KBKK route.
“These facilities are expected to create economic spillover effects, as improved connectivity drives local development,” he told the Kelantan State Legislative Assembly at the Kota Darulnaim Complex today.
Dr Izani said while the designs for the R&R sites have yet to be finalised, the state supports incorporating traditional Kelantanese architectural elements.
He was responding to Zubir Abu Bakar (PAS–Mengkebang), who asked about efforts to develop R&R infrastructure in Kuala Krai in line with the ongoing LTU construction.
